Hi @kundanthe,

I've try some method, i can successfully build my app through this step.

1. Open Android Studio
2. Open The opentok-react-native build.gradle
3. On That File delete all the line

   compileOptions {
       sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_11
       targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_11
   }

4. create a patch using yarn patch-package opentok-react-native

and try to rebuild it.

but i don't know what the side-effect of this, but at least my apps can run.

After changing the gradle version and distribution Url its working now..

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1' distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-bin.zip

If targeting to JAVA_11 then need to change the gradle version. https://developer.android.com/build/releases/past-releases/agp-7-0-0-release-notes

Hi @syukronmuttaqien, @kundanthe

Thanks for sharing your fixes.

As you commented above, you will need Gradle plugin 7 for JDK 11.
