Migrating to Android X Fixed it for me. i.e: Adding

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

to my gradle.properties and running Jetifier

npx jetifier

I finally solved mine by changing the java home to use jdk 8 (was using the OS one, jdk 11). Somehow changing it in android studio settings didn’t work.
