Probably related to this note that I've missed from the gradle release notes:
https://docs.gradle.org/8.4/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#xml_parsing_now_requires_recent_parsers

@guillermo-varela The integrations tests go up to version 7.4. Is gradle 8 supported?

The integrations tests go up to version 7.4. Is gradle 8 supported?

The plugin seems to work with gradle 8, but when testing an Android project I get an error related to Java 11 and particularly the Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) seems to require Java 17:
https://developer.android.com/build/releases/past-releases/agp-8-0-0-release-notes?hl=en#jdk-17-agp

So right now we'd need extra setup to run those tests using a different JDK, although we do have #146 where we could bump up among other stuff, the Java version.
