Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.
You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.
See https://docs.gradle.org/7.4/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings
EDIT:
Encontrei o problema, e a passagem do apk como File ele usa um get absolutePath()
