Guava Version

33.4.7-jre

Description

The latest version of Guava uses MethodHandle which is only available in Android API 26 or later. My app supports API 21 at the minimum, and it uses the latest release of Guava to patch a security vulnerability, only now it won't build because Guava uses methods that are not supported in the minimum SDK version. And I have no desire to increase it in my app.

Example

Any Android app with minimum SDK version lower than 26, using the latest version of Guava, would suffice. Here's a PR build from my repo that failed:
https://github.com/JordanLongstaff/ArtemisAgent/actions/runs/14347309233/job/40219434611?pr=189

Expected Behavior

App should still build as normal.

Actual Behavior

App cannot build because of MethodHandle. See the link in the example for more info.
