Hello @doniwinata0309 👋

This is unfortunately a limitation of the Android SDK, some tools (such as sdkmanager) are not yet compatible with JDK 11 at the moment and need JDK 8 to run correctly. What you can do is change the order of your workflow steps to only enable JDK 11 after your failing step. For more details, see this guide: https://support.bitrise.io/hc/en-us/articles/360017059718
