Closes #116

There's a bunch of additional stuff that @keturn did in #136 ... we might want to consider adopting those changes, or reopening #136 and integrating the changes of this PR in there. Edit: likely those changes are automatically generated/updated by gradle - I just don't know how to trigger that :thinking: Using gradlew after updating the version in gradlew-wrapper.properties didn't...

[BenjaminAmos]

The gradlew wrapper command updates the gradle wrapper files, including the gradlew and gradlew.bat scripts.

Could not set unknown property 'classifier' for task ':gestalt-android:androidJavadocsJar' of type org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Jar

That sounds like the thing I also ran into... @BenjaminAmos made me aware of the fact that classifier was renamed to archiveClassifier

i tried as well to get hints in the gradle discussion forum: https://discuss.gradle.org/t/gradle-6-8-2-gradle-8-2-1-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-org-gradle-api-plugins-mavenplugin/46074

@soloturn Is the Android Gradle Plugin version possibly too old now? 4.1.3 was designed to go with Gradle 6.5, so newer versions of Gradle might have broken things. You could try updating to a newer version of the android gradle plugin, maybe 7.4.1? It looks like versions 8.0 and above require Java 17, which isn't usable for us whilst we're still building with Java 11. https://github.com/MovingBlocks/gestalt/blob/911728ec00a5ccf5708427599c225916d96e7ffe/build.gradle#L12-L14

This was finished off by #139. Thanks @soloturn!
