Getting this warning message, I updated already everything what I am missing can somone tell me?

We recommend using a newer Android Gradle plugin to use compileSdk = 34
    
    This Android Gradle plugin (8.1.0) was tested up to compileSdk = 33 (and compileSdkPreview = "UpsideDownCakePrivacySandbox").
    
    You are strongly encouraged to update your project to use a newer
    Android Gradle plugin that has been tested with compileSdk = 34.
    
    If you are already using the latest version of the Android Gradle plugin,
    you may need to wait until a newer version with support for compileSdk = 34 is available.
    
    To suppress this warning, add/update
        android.suppressUnsupportedCompileSdk=34
    to this project's gradle.properties.

Answer 1

Just update Android Gradle plugin from 8.1.0 to 8.1.1

Sample:

Change

id "com.android.application" version '8.1.0' apply false
id "com.android.library" version '8.1.0' apply false

to

id "com.android.application" version '8.1.1' apply false
id "com.android.library" version '8.1.1' apply false

Answer 2

You just need to upgrade gradle to a version that is supported by sdk 34. To do that: File > Project Structure > Project > Gradle Version and select 8.1.1 or above. To also update the plugin version go to Tools -> AGP Upgrade Assistant and run the recommended settings
