…xplained at https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/11926878?hl=en. The Java API that matches this version is Java 11. But the ABI is still Java 8, for example see the problem with Buffer/ByteBuffer. Meanwhile, to simplify developement, Google introduced “desugaring”, see https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java11-default-support-table. So I think API compliance checking is not needed any more, and removed all API compliance check that breaks, but not in a meaningfull way. Of course, support for Java 8 is dropped.
