My guess is, that you use a broken Java version, it one where the proper trust store is missing. I’d say first you should try running Gradle with a different Java installation.

Gradle version shouldn’t be relevant. This should purely be an issue of the jdk you run Gradle with. You can check it with `./gradlew --version` it maybe in a build `--scan`.
