I’m using Gradle 2.7  
I get this message:

_FAILURE: Build failed with an exception._

\*\* What went wrong:\*  
_Could not determine java version from ‘13.0.2’._

\*\* Try:\*  
_Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output._

What am I supposed to do? Thanks for helping

If you want Java 13 support, you need to use at least Gradle 6.0: [https://docs.gradle.org/6.0/release-notes.html#java-13](https://docs.gradle.org/6.0/release-notes.html#java-13)

Cheers,

Thanks for answering. How do I update to the latest Gradle?

That depends how you installed Gradle. Your best bet is to upgrade with the Gradle wrapper: [https://gradle.org/install/#with-the-gradle-wrapper](https://gradle.org/install/#with-the-gradle-wrapper)
