f36defa upgraded error_prone_annotations and 4de4718 bumped minSdkVersion for android-interop-testing.

You might also want to update google-auth-library-oauth2-http to <version>1.41.0</version> in https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/examples/example-gauth/pom.xml#L60 and in example-oauth/pom.xml.

gson is coming in transitively and causing to conflict with enforcer that's why we are seeing CI failures. Just updating version in pom.xml will not resolve this issue because Google Auth Library For Java OAuth2 HTTP: 1.41.0 uses google-http-client-gson: 2.0.2 and GSON Extensions to The Google HTTP Client Library For Java: 2.0.2 still uses gson: 2.11.0.

We should add the gson dependency in <dependencyManagement> in conflicting files of pom.xml, such that this doesn't add anything to our classpath and instead, it acts as just a version lookup table.

bad class file: /root/.gradle/caches/8.14.3/transforms/3060166f931d79a77add1fe2f80315a2/transformed/cronet-api-143.7445.0-api.jar(/org/chromium/net/BidirectionalStream.class)
class file has wrong version 61.0, should be 55.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.

Looks like the upgraded Cronet library (143.7445.0) was compiled with Java 17 and the build env for kokoro job was setup with Java 11.

You're kidding me. This is the nonsense error I faced with #12685 and thought I worked around. Apparently it can still fail (racy??). I'll re-run the test, but I'm worried.

I am now able to reliably reproduce the failure on my machine:

./gradlew clean :grpc-android-interop-testing:build -PskipAndroid=false -Pandroid.useAndroidX=true --no-build-cache
