[1.67.0][Android] Error on Building, Java 8 Compat

See original GitHub issue

I keep getting this error when trying to build the latest version.

Jack is required to support java 8 language features. Either enable Jack or remove sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

I know Jack is deprecated on Android, but I can’t get it to work.

I’m using default versions of Gradle for RN56 gradle-plugin@2.3.3, gradle@3.5.1, gradle-download-task@3.4.3,

Added the compileOptions as the docs say

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Which should support Java 8 expressions. Any ideas?

@saghul Should we include some notes on the documentation to point this should be also done? I can help on that making some small guide using @8BallBomBom information.
