We upgraded gradle in AS to 8.4.
Now AS insists we have to build with Java 17.

Will the apps still work on older devices that don’t support Java 17 – as long as we don’t use any new features above Java 11?

This is what I set in gradle:

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }
    java {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        freeCompilerArgs = ['-Xjvm-default=all']
        jvmTarget = '11'
    }
