Multiple Android DeviceLab tests fail with Android Studio RC bundled JDK 25 (OpenJDK 25.0.2) due to IllegalArgumentException: 25.0.2 during Gradle/Kotlin initialization #189780
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Install Android Studio RC (bundled OpenJDK 25.0.2).
- Configure Flutter to use the RC JDK: flutter config --jdk-dir="/Applications/Android Studio RC.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home"
- Verify Flutter is using the RC JDK: flutter doctor -v
- From the Flutter repository, run a DeviceLab test, for example: dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t android_display_cutout or dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t android_defines
Expected results
Android Device lab tests should build and execute successfully using the latest Android Studio RC bundled JDK.
Actual results
The Gradle build fails before compilation begins with:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
- What went wrong:
25.0.2
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 25.0.2
at org.jetbrains.kotlin.com.intellij.util.lang.JavaVersion.parse(...)
Note :
- The same Flutter checkout succeeds when configured to use the Android Studio Stable bundled JDK (OpenJDK 21.0.10).
- Issue repro in all flutter channels
Few of the Tests failed :
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t android_defines_test
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t android_display_cutout
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t android_picture_cache_complexity_scoring_perf__timeline_summary
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t android_verified_input_test
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t android_view_scroll_perf__timeline_summary
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t complex_layout_android__scroll_smoothness
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t embedded_android_views_integration_test
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t build_android_host_app_with_module_aar
- dart bin/test_runner.dart test -t build_android_host_app_with_module_source

Thanks for the report, @preethi0228-git. Routing to the infra team with fyi-android for further investigation.
mboetger commentedon Jul 21, 2026
I saw this issue on my own workflow yesterday, this happens when the java version is too new for the gradle version. Java 25 does not work with 8.14.
@mbcorona - this is not an infra issue since the user is running them locally.
@jesswrd - Are these tests already scheduled to be upgraded to 9.1?

The Flutter tool should give an actionable error when this happens instead of a tool crash and
