Azure DevOps gradle build fails

Issue

I am trying to migrate my pipeline from Appcenter to DevOps since I need to leverage some of the build-runtime tools.

The Appcenter builds are working fine, and I can run the app in the phone. But when I create a new pipeline in DevOps with a gradle task, the build fails with this following error:
