I use android studio on at least 3 different computers and recently I stated having an error that I can't solve. When running my application, it crashes at the :app:packageDebug task of the build process. Every time I try to run the program it throws this error: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'.
I think it has something to do with the apk my project uses. usually I get an error message after moving computers saying that android studio can't find my apk and is going to use one on local storage. Here are the things I have already tried to fix the problem. Invalidating caches and restarting, then cleaning the build. updating the android emulator (February 4th). Checking logcat does not return anything relevent to the issue. I'll post the full error code below.
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'.

I can't find any information on this error specifically so I would appreciate any feedback.
Add below code in app gradle file (app gradle -> android ->)
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
Deleting folders .gradle and .idea and recreating project helped me
