I have flutter 2.2.0 and Java8. When I try to run the following command

gradlew signingreport

I get the following error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

java version “1.8.0_281” Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_281-b09) Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 25.281-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

Not able to run gradle at all with the above mentioned error.

Any suggestions? If I increase gradle to 7.1, the Flutter gives me a different error. I have also gone back till gradle 6.4 but still the error remains.
