Answer 1

As per the details in your error message, you can see that the root cause is a gradle error.

Gradle is likely using an unsupported version of the JVM in your case (e.g. I could reproduce the error in the latest IntelliJ 2021.3 version where gradle was using JVM 17 from my home path, while the IDE itself was using JDK 11.) In the attached IntelliJ Preferences screen, note that the JVM used by Gradle is specified separately.

To fix the error, verify the JVM version being used by gradle and specify a JVM 11 version to gradle.
