Making an android project with cordova, when I try to making a build, it failed with this issue:

execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0

These are my versions:

Cordova: 10.0.0
Android Platform: 10.1.2 
Gradle: 7.1.1

I am absolutely sure that Gradle is installed when I install the Android platform (and it is out of my control) and that everything was working fine until 1 month ago ... and I have not changed anything

How I can fix this issue??? Have I to update Gradle? How? Have I to update the project? How?

it's very strange ... and frustrating

build.gradle gradle cordova android

Updating gradle solves the problem.

There are different ways to update the gradle, as explained in their official website: https://gradle.org/install/

Assuming that you are a windows user:

Downloading binary files of gradle and extracting the folder to the directory "c:/gradle" is enough.

  • Download binary files of gradle for the next version

  • Update path of gradle in PATH variable in your computer enter image description here

  • You should define another variable as follows: enter image description here

  • Variable name should be the same and its value should be the same with the one you use. While creating your cordova environment, this url is being used.

  • Save and restart your IDE's or CLI windows

  • test it out like ´gradle -v´ and you should see the active version of gradle in your system.

  • Be prepared to the new problems in your cordova environment because you have a upgraded gradle now

To fix the issue, I've reverted to cordova-android version 9.1.0. I've no idea, as of now, why cordova-android version 10 points to gradle, which as of now isn't possible to download...
