| For AGP 7.x, it's recommended to use Java 11, 17, or 20 to avoid DexWorkAction / D8 issues. | ||
| While Java 21 might technically work, it's safer to avoid it due to potential compatibility quirks. |

Since we know "AGP 7.x’s D8 supports bytecode up to v61, so Java 21+ (v65+) fails." why not explicitly mention that 21+ will not work?

Fixed and updated the message.Thanks!

Move/merge this up earlier near/with the "Prerequisites". I don't think we need to give all the details here. Just something more like, "The example defaults to AGP 7.x which needs Java 11-17. If you upgrade it to AGP 8.x, it needs Java 17+"

Done - moved to prerequisites section and simplify the wording as suggested. Thanks!

| 1. The example uses AGP 7.x (compatible with Java 11–17). If you upgrade it to AGP 8.x requires Java 17+. |

"If you upgrade it to AGP 8.x, it requires Java 17+."

The issue mentioned in the description is not the right way. Just put the full link, it will automatically reduce it to the readable way. When in different repo, it should show like this |
