Execution failed for task ':capacitor-nodejs:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

error: invalid source release: 17

It is difficult to solve the problem without further information.

• It looks like you are using quasar. Does the same error occur with a plain Capacitor project?
• Does the build work if you only use the other Capacitor plugins, without the NodeJS plugin?
• Are you using the latest Android Studio version and is your Gradle JVM configured to Java version 17?

Yes, i am using quasar, but its working fine with plain capacitor project but not with quasar capacitor project.

The error message "Unable to copy the Node.js project from APK." indicates that your nodejs project folder is not included when bundling.

In your project structure, the nodejs project folder is located directly in the capacitor-src folder, but usually it should be located in the the static subfolder (in the case of quasar probably in capacitor-src/static?) to ensure that your nodejs project is taken into account by the bundler.

See https://github.com/hampoelz/Capacitor-NodeJS#minimal-example

But since I've never used quasar, you may need to check if it handles the bundling of your project the same way as capacitor.
