Issue with Gradle, impossible to emulate or compile the app

Hello

I have issues to compile a very basic application (the by default application, without any change in it).
When I try to emulate the app, I have this message:

C:\Sites\Lab\MyCordova\Demo3>cordova emulate android
Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:\Users\emili\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ (recommended setting)
ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\emili\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ (DEPRECATED)
Using Android SDK: C:\Users\emili\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

See https://docs.gradle.org/7.5.1/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

I have searched for hours what is the issue, but I don’t find it.
Any idea ?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Emilie

This means you are trying to use something that was compiled with Java 18 while running on Java <=17.
