[wk-mihai]

Bug Report

Plugin(s)

• @capacitor/google-maps": "^5.0.0

Capacitor Version

Current Behavior

After upgrading the capacitor version from 4 to 5, I've got the following error message when I run the ionic cap run android command:

Execution failed for task ':capacitor-google-maps:compileDebugKotlin'.
[capacitor] > 'compileDebugJavaWithJavac' task (current target is 17) and 'compileDebugKotlin' task (current target is 19) jvm target compatibility should be set to the same Java version.
[capacitor] Consider using JVM toolchain: https://kotl.in/gradle/jvm/toolchain

This is not happening when I build the app from Android Studio.

Expected Behavior

Should be able to run the ionic cap run android command without the error.

Code Reproduction

Just install the capacitor 5 and @capacitor/[email protected] and run the ionic cap run android command

Other Technical Details

N/A

Additional Context

This is happening for the latest capacitor version as well (@5.5.1) and latest @capacitor/google-maps version (@5.3.3)

As a temporary fix, I had to change the JavaVersion.VERSION_17 to JavaVersion.VERSION_19 in @capacitor/google-maps/android/build.gradle file

I can't reproduce with the provided app.
If it works when building from Android Studio, but not from ionic command it might be an Ionic CLI bug.
Also could be some problem on your system, maybe if you have a global gradle installation that is overriding the Capacitor's 5 default gradle version, which is 8.0.0.
Or you have java 19 installed and gradle is using that version, instead of 17, which is what it should be using, as java 19 is not officially supported for Android development yet, despite it can compile if you change the values, it could cause issues.

You're right. The Java version was 19 instead of 17. Thanks @jcesarmobile
