Description

while trying to run the app with 2.9.0 we are facing the below exception.

Error:Error converting bytecode to dex:
Cause: Dex cannot parse version 53 byte code.
This is caused by library dependencies that have been compiled using Java 8 or above.
If you are using the 'java' gradle plugin in a library submodule add
targetCompatibility = '1.7'
sourceCompatibility = '1.7'
to that submodule's build.gradle file.
