Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.12/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

BUILD FAILED in 10s 653 actionable tasks: 17 executed, 636 up-to-date

It all stems to this error message which I can't find how to address:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: group.displayName must not be null

Any help would be appreciated!! 🙇‍♀️
