Detox build command is failing due to dagger files under build section of android app

Describe the bug
The detox build command is failing due to dagger files under build section of android app

detox command: detox build -c android.emu.beta.debug

my detoxsrc file,

{
"testRunner": "jest",
"runnerConfig": "e2e/config.json",
"configurations": {
"android.emu.beta.debug": {
"binaryPath": "android/app/build/outputs/apk/beta/debug/app-beta-debug.apk",
"build": "cd android && ./gradlew assembleBetaDebug assembleBetaDebugAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug && cd ..",
"type": "android.emulator",
"device": {
"avdName": "Pixel_2_API_30"
}
},
"android.emu.beta.release": {
"binaryPath": "android/app/build/outputs/apk/beta/release/app-beta-release.apk",
"build": "cd android && ./gradlew assembleBetaRelease assembleBetaReleaseAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=release && cd ..",
"type": "android.emulator",
"device": {
"avdName": "Pixel_2_API_30"
}
}
}
}

Steps to reproduce:

1. setup detox in a dagger android project
2. try to build the project
3. Execution failed for task ':app:compileLIVEDebugJavaWithJavac' due to the dagger generated files under build section

the same error is reproduced when I try to run the android app via terminal through this command "npx react-native run-android --variant BETADebug -- stacktrace" so I think the problem might be in android dagger part and not in detox part.

Screenshots:

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Detox: 17.3.6
• React Native: 0.63.0
• Node: 14.4.0
• Device: Android
• OS: Mac
• Test-runner (select one): jest-circus

Exactly. Detox has no relation to the build process for your app.

If anyone else is facing this-> Check what version of java is being used by your terminal it might be 14, change it back to 8 and it should work fine
