invokedynamic requires --min-sdk-version >= 26

Not an issue at all, but after upgrade from Acra 4, I've got these errors.

Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process C:\Users\Alexander\.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\acra-core-5.1.1.aar\6df76559d2a73aee2fbf8bfe5f554c49\jars\classes.jar

Solved for me by adding these lines into build.gradle file

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Maybe add it to documentation or FAQ?

There is a note on the Changelog page, but I'll check where it fits (or you can do it yourself, anyone can edit the wiki).

Put in

android {
      //
      compileOptions {
      sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
      targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
      }
}
