Didn't find class "java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup"

See original GitHub issue

//retrofit

  implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-moshi:2.8.0'
  implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.8.0'
  implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:adapter-rxjava2:2.8.0'
  implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.8.0'

It doesn’t work with either moshi either gson converters.

Gradle configured with

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = 1.8
        targetCompatibility = 1.8
    }

kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }

Also tried

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

What’s the error?

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn’t find class “java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup”

It happens only on: Android 7.0 Android 7.1.1 Android 7.1.2

Where does it print the stack trace?

https://github.com/square/retrofit/blob/master/retrofit/src/main/java/retrofit2/Platform.java Line 62, 115, 44, 34, 37, 430

Did you update your retrofit adapters too?

I did.

I just tested it on Android 7.1.1

def retrofit = "2.9.0"
   implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-moshi:$retrofit"
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:$retrofit"
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:adapter-rxjava3:$retrofit"
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:$retrofit"
    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:4.7.2'

I didn’t get any crash not with gson or rxjava3 adapter or moshi in this case
