I am trying to set up a new project with Cordova for the first time. I would like to test the project on my connected Android Phone, but I am having trouble with the required components and don't know what to do anymore.
For starters, I'm using:
java 8gradle 7.4.2android sdk 24 as the minimumandroid sdk 34 as the targetWhen I try to build my project inside its folder with cordova run android --device, I get the following block of errors:
Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_HOME=C:\android_sdk (recommended setting)
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:\android_sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin (DEPRECATED)
Using Android SDK: C:\android_sdk
Subproject Path: CordovaLib
Subproject Path: app
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'WeddingLink'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':classpath'.
> Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2.
Required by:
project :
> No matching variant of com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2 was found. The consumer was configured to find a runtime of a library compatible with Java 8, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally, as well as attribute 'org.gradle.plugin.api-version' with value '7.6' but:
- Variant 'apiElements' capability com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2 declares a library, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Incompatible because this component declares an API of a component compatible with Java 11 and the consumer needed a runtime of a component compatible with Java 8
- Other compatible attribute:
- Doesn't say anything about org.gradle.plugin.api-version (required '7.6')
- Variant 'javadocElements' capability com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2 declares a runtime of a component, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Incompatible because this component declares documentation and the consumer needed a library
- Other compatible attributes:
- Doesn't say anything about its target Java version (required compatibility with Java 8)
- Doesn't say anything about its elements (required them packaged as a jar)
- Doesn't say anything about org.gradle.plugin.api-version (required '7.6')
- Variant 'runtimeElements' capability com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2 declares a runtime of a library, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally:

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.
You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.
See https://docs.gradle.org/7.6/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

Has anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?
The error message indicates that your build failed because of a mismatch between the Gradle version and the JDK version com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2 requires a JDK compatible with Java 11, but your system is using Java 8.
to fix this -> Upgrade your JDK to Java 11 or Downgrade your Gradle version to one compatible with Java 8
