# Troubleshooting

If you encounter a dependency that requires Java 8+ APIs, such as enabling core library desugaring to ensure compatibility across Android versions, do the following:

1

<!-- -->

.

Update `compileOptions` by adding the following to your `build.gradle` file.

```
android {

    compileOptions {

        isCoreLibraryDesugaringEnabled = true

    }

}
```

2

<!-- -->

.

Add the desugaring dependency.

```
dependencies {

    coreLibraryDesugaring("com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:2.0.4")

}
```

This enables modern Java features on older Android versions.
