Error when building project in android studio with gradle 8.0.2

[batata004]

Hi, I have the latest Android Studio on my Win11 computer. I tried opening your MIDISCOPE project in it, and it shows this error:

BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit 'BuildScript' Unsupported class file major version 61

I didnt change anything, I just tried opening it on Android Studio. Any suggestion how can I fix it?

I am also stuck.
I was getting the same error with:

BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit 'BuildScript' Unsupported class file major version 61

I upgraded to Android Studio Flamingo. I tried updating gradle. Switching to use JDK jbr-17.
I am seeing lots of reports of problems on stack-overflow.

I even created a new Project and tried to build it and it would not build.
Getting:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'TryToBuild'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.0.2.

I have not been able to get gradle 8.02 to work. I just get these cryptic error messages that I cannot solve.

I am now using gradle 7.5, which seems to work fine.

Also you should make sure you have PR #78, which updates the targetSDK and permissions to work with Android S and above.
