Hi @showtan001

Thanks for reporting the issue. The error Unsupported class file major version 61. usually means there is an incompatibility with gradle or the Java JDK. Without more information about the error (stacktrace) and your setup (gradle version, etc) it's difficult to provide assistance.

Note that version 10.8.0 is using Android SDK version 3.14.0 and version >= 11.0.0 are using Android SDK >= 4.0.0. This means 11.0.0 is using Kotlin 1.8 and compiles with SDK version 34. You can find more information about our Android SDK here. I suspect the incompatibility is related to these changes.
