Tried to build chirp-react-native with Java 12 and Java 11. Will not build.
If I drop down to Java 1.8 AND set my gradle distributionUrl to gradle-4.8-all.zip in chirp-react-native/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, the package compiles and installs correctly and I think it runs correctly.
However if it's an easy fix I'd prefer to use a current JDK. Has anyone successfully built chirp-react-native using Java 12?
Steps to reproduce:
With Java 12 set in my JAVA_HOME env variable (/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk12-0.1.jdk)
react-native run-android fails with this error:
Could not determine Java version from 12.0.1
If I drop down to Java 11 as JAVA_HOME, I get a similar error message:
Could not determine Java version from 11.0.3
With Java 1.8 and Gradle 4.8, everything appears to build, install and run properly.

You might be able to upgrade the gradle version in the android/build.gradle file.
