Gradlew Failed while building a Buildozer APK

Question

I use buildozer to package my python scripts into an APK. I have never received problems until I upgraded to UBUNTU 20.04. Now all a sudden I keep on getting the error gradlew failed. I have tried all the possible solutions I could find, none of them worked.

• I have deleted the .gradle file
• I have run buildozer android clean/appclean/distclean
• I have uninstalled and reinstalled buildozer
• I have tried using API 27-30

Nothing has worked thus far.

Specs:

• UBUNTU 20.04
• Openjdk 17-ea 2021-09-14
