Answer 1

In your project's root terminal, run this below command:

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.20.jdk/Contents/Home

The main to my error was jdk version. Before i was using latest jdk 20 version which is not supported yet. So I had to downgrade my jdk version from 20 to 11 and then successfully build the app.
