How to set 'compileDebugKotlin' task target to Java 17

Question

I upgraded my react-native project from expo 48 to 50 and Gradle wrapper to 8.7 after resolving some other issues I am stuck on this issue: `Execution failed for task ':expo-permissions:compileDebugKotlin'.

'compileDebugJavaWithJavac' task (current target is 17) and 'compileDebugKotlin' task (current target is 11) jvm target compatibility should be set to the same Java version.

Things I tried:

• Using Java toolchain (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle-configure-project.html#gradle-java-toolchains-support)
• Adding different plugins including org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver-convention
• Adding compatibilityOptions and kotlin and kotlinOptions blocks with hardCoded Java version and jvmToolchain(17)
• Updating the Java version to 17 for gradle Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> Gradle JDK

and many other things but nothing seems to help.
