SDK you're using (please complete the following information):

• Version [e.g. 2.3.10] 4.14 Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. When creating an invoice, i set the date and the due date as: line 400, dateValue=2023-03-16 line 407, dueDateValue=2023-04-30 which is in the YYYY-MM-DD format described in the docs. yet i stil get the exception:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Wrong date format (through reference chain: com.xero.models.accounting.Invoices["Invoices"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]-> Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong date format

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run this code:

   ` Invoice invoice = new Invoice();
    invoice.setType(com.xero.models.accounting.Invoice.TypeEnum.ACCREC);
    invoice.setContact(contact);
    SimpleDateFormat invoiceDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    String dateValue = invoiceDateFormat.format(new Date());
    System.out.println("line 400, dateValue=" + dateValue);
    invoice.setDate(dateValue);
    YearMonth ym = YearMonth.now( ZoneId.of( "Australia/Melbourne" ) ) ;
    YearMonth ymNext = ym.plusMonths( 1 ) ;
    java.time.LocalDate ld = ymNext.atEndOfMonth() ;
    String dueDateValue = ld.toString() ;
    invoice.setDueDate(dueDateValue);
    System.out.println("line 407, dueDateValue=" + dueDateValue);
    invoice.setLineItems(lineItems);
    invoice.setReference("Website Design");
    invoice.setStatus(com.xero.models.accounting.Invoice.StatusEnum.DRAFT);

    Invoices invoices = new Invoices();
    invoices.addInvoicesItem(invoice);
    boolean summarizeErrors=false;
    int unitdp=2;
    try {
        Invoices result = accountingApi.createInvoices(access_token, xero_tenant_id, invoices, summarizeErrors, unitdp);
        System.out.println(result);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.err.println("Exception when calling AccountingApi#createInvoices");

        e.printStackTrace();
    }`

in the code above, the outout of the System.out.println is: line 400, dateValue=2023-03-16 line 407, dueDateValue=2023-04-30

Hi @arifainchtein - in your code you are providing the date as a String. You need to provide a LocalDate type instead.
