Hi I am trying to build Android apk and I get the following errors when I run the shell script.

Could you suggest what I can do to resolve this please.

I have latest JAVA installed

xx.xxx@OEMBP01 app-android % java -version
java version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1 12-LTS-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1 12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)

Error I get is

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the User Manual chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/7.1.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html

CodePudding user response：

You are using two JVM options that are no longer available in recent Java versions:

• The MaxPermSize option has been removed in Java 8
• The UseConcMarkSweepGC option was deprecated in Java 9

Both options were initially reported as a warning and now raise an actual error when trying to start the VM.

Unless you encounter specific issues, you should be able to rely on the current default values, so simply remove -XX:MaxPermSize=512m and -XX: UseConcMarkSweepGC from your list of arguments (e.g. in your gradle.properties file).
