I am upgrading react-native from 0.59.5 to 0.60.4 with my existing application. But facing a problem as below
* Where: Build file '/home/bingl/Projects/blackstar/frontend/android/app/build.gradle' * What went wrong: Could not compile build file '/home/bingl/Projects/blackstar/frontend/android/app/build.gradle'. > startup failed: General error during semantic analysis: Unsupported class file major version 57 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 57 at groovyjarjarasm.asm.ClassReader.<init>(ClassReader.java:184) at groovyjarjarasm.asm.ClassReader.<init>(ClassReader.java:166) at groovyjarjarasm.asm.ClassReader.<init>(ClassReader.java:152) at groovyjarjarasm.asm.ClassReader.<init>(ClassReader.java:273) at org.codehaus.groovy.ast.decompiled.AsmDecompiler.parseClass(AsmDecompiler.java:81) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.ClassNodeResolver.findDecompiled(ClassNodeReso
And my build.gradle is
android { compileSdkVersion 28 buildToolsVersion "28.0.3" compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } defaultConfig { applicationId "com.frontend" minSdkVersion 16 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } splits { abi { reset() enable enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture universalApk false // If true, also generate a universal APK include "armeabi-v7a", "x86", "arm64-v8a", "x86_64" } } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled enableProguardInReleaseBuilds proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android.txt"), "proguard-rules.pro" } } // applicationVariants are e.g. debug, release applicationVariants.all { variant -> variant.outputs.each { output -> // For each separate APK per architecture, set a unique version code as described here: // http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/apk-splits def versionCodes = ["armeabi-v7a":1, "x86":2, "arm64-v8a": 3, "x86_64": 4] def abi = output.getFilter(OutputFile.ABI) if (abi != null) { // null for the universal-debug, universal-release variants output.versionCodeOverride = versionCodes.get(abi) * 1048576 + defaultConfig.versionCode } } }
I have absolutely no clue what this error is about and could not find much helpful articles. Please help me out.

Answer
Looks like Gradle is currently erroring on builds using openJDK-13.
Here’s a Github issue thread.
Check the version of Java and JDK versions on your system by running the following command on in your terminal:
file /etc/alternatives/java /etc/alternatives/javac
OR
file `which java javac`
This will list the current installations on your system. If you see openjdk-13
anywhere, you’ll have to downgrade to openjdk-8
.
Check this link for downgrading steps.
