JetStream: gradle sync fails with the latest Android Studio

[gramound]

Gradle sync fails with the latest Android Studio. It is looking for java 17 explicitly in build.gradle.kts for both jetstream and benchmark. Is that obsolete? (Works fine without it)

kotlin {
    jvmToolchain(17)
}

[gramound]

I should clarify "works fine without it" for my simple usage is like below. (Haven't tried the "baseline profile" thing, just open in Android Studio and run in the emulator)
