It’s not Android per se that’s the problem, it’s that Android uses Gradle as a build system and Gradle uses Java. The Gradle compatibility matrix is pretty complicated: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html#java https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html... I’ve also used Facebook’s Buck build system, as an attempt to get away from Gradle, and it’s also fussy about JDK versions.
