Upgrade to gradle 8.0

[kevalpatel2106]

Context

Upgrade to gradle 8.0+ is failing because of changes in the test reporting definition. This is causing com.dicedmelon.gradle:jacoco-android:0.1.5 plugin to fail the build.

More on that here: arturdm/jacoco-android-gradle-plugin#102

As a fix, I have opened up a PR in the original plugin: arturdm/jacoco-android-gradle-plugin#103 But, because of the inactivity in the project, the timeline to mergeis unpredictable, so I am publishing the fork of the original plugin here: https://github.com/kevalpatel2106/jacoco-android-gradle-plugin

Acceptance:

• Fix the jacoco-gradle-plugin to not to fail on Gradle 8+
• Upgrade to gradle 8. (Most likely, it will be done by nightly workflow. So no action needed there).
