I have been creating packages for quite sometime but now I am getting a failure on the build of the package which I can’t figure out. Any idea how to do as it suggests and run the build with scan or if you have a suggestion as to why it might fail on this “Task :permission_library:parseDebugLibraryResources FAILED”

Very late to the party, but in case anyone else bumps into this. This kind of incomprehensible error during gradle run is usually down to java version. Probably you are using too new a version of java.

I know that Microsoft\jdk-11.0.17.8-hotspot works at time of writing (UE5.2) and that \Microsoft\jdk-17.0.7.7-hotspot does not work.

gradle will first look for java in your JAVA_HOME env variable, and then your path. Probably in this case you installed (maybe without even knowing…) a new version of java that changed that env variable and borked your builds. Fun!
