Hello Team,

i am trying hello world app with Skip. i m stuck on the build script for android it throws this error.

Inconsistent JVM-target compatibility detected for tasks 'compileDebugJavaWithJavac' (21) and 'compileDebugKotlin' (17).

Attached is Error I get and build script file for android. i have android studio installed on my Mac M1 Pro machine. there is no modification done from my side. This is just a Hello World app. Check goes through fine. i don't get any error on that part.

I think that might be a red herring. Since skip checkup passed for you, your system should have the correct JVM installed.

The other error message in the log might be the more salient one:

No connected Android devices or emulators were reported by 'adb devices'. To launch the Skip app, start an emulator from the Android Studio Device Manager or use the ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator command

Have you launched an Android emulator, as per https://skip.tools/docs/app-development/#building-and-running ? If not, can you do so and then try again, and let us know if you still get errors?

Tried by keeping android emulator open. it throws same error. tried setting path for java home to 17, but not sure from where its picking up 21.

So "skip checkup" passes? Do you have JAVA_HOME set in your environment? What does the following Terminal command output?

echo $JAVA_HOME

Can you try editing the Android/app/build.gradle.kts file in Xcode and adding the following clause to the android { } block:

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = libs.versions.jvm.get().toString()
    }

So, for example, it looks like this:

android {
    namespace = group as String
    compileSdk = libs.versions.android.sdk.compile.get().toInt()
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.toVersion(libs.versions.jvm.get())
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.toVersion(libs.versions.jvm.get())
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = libs.versions.jvm.get().toString()
    }

and then try running the project again? That may be all it it needs to force it to use the correct JVM target.
