Hi @here am facing this issue after updating to gradle 8.5.0 version in Android Studio
Can anyone help me on this ?

I have got the same issue. The error asks to use this code below

compileOptions {
        // Flag to enable support for the new language APIs
        coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true
        // Sets Java compatibility to Java 8
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

but it is deprecated and should not be used.

gradle:8.2.0

@PollyGlot do you have a link to a repo hosting a minimal app that shows that what is there is deprecated and shouldn't be used? I updated the example app to AGP 8.6.0, built a release APK and didn't see deprecation warnings

[ujwal-yadav-aot]

same issue solved by adding in app/build.gradle

compileOptions {
   ......//
    coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true
}

and 
dependencies {
coreLibraryDesugaring 'com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:1.2.2'
}

[shibakar]

dependencies {
coreLibraryDesugaring 'com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:1.2.2'
}

This works !!!
