Your issue ("Unsupported class file major version 66") appears to be caused by compiling a class in Java 22 (class file major version 66) and then attempting to run that class in a version prior to Java 22.

As far as I'm aware, NativeScript does not support anything higher than Java 17 currently... which may actually be an Android requirement not NativeScript, per se.
