build.gradle: The option 'android.enableR8' is deprecated and should not be used anymore
Step 1:
Open the gradle.properties
file
Step 2:
Disable android.enableR8=true
by adding a # in front:
#android.enableR8=true
Alternatively, you can swap out the R8 for D8, The build system changed to using D8 instead of R8.
android.enableD8=true
For me, after spending a whole day on it, I solved it by downgrading to JDK 8 and I have previously tried it with embedded JDK and JDK 16.
