Unit Tests Failing on iOS Build Attempts via Terminal about kampkit HOT 3 CLOSED

I found out what the issue was today. Using anything other than JDK 1.8 (including later versions from 10 and upwards, I believe) will cause Robolectric to break. Hence the failing unit tests. I couldn't figure out why my build wasn't working because I set JAVA_HOME=/path-to-my-1.8-jdk. Turns out I wasn't setting the correct folder. On my Mac, "/bin/java" is automatically appended to the JAVA_HOME variable, apparently, so you have to get the pathname correct taking into account the appended string.

(As an aside, I would suggest instructions in the tutorial for how to permanently set the JAVA_HOME variable or link to some documentation explaining this. Basically, for Mac, you just sudo nano ~./bash_profile and add export JAVA_HOME='path-to-jdk-1.8' into the file that opens. Save and exit the file and the JAVA_HOME variable should be set to the value you specified every time you open a terminal).

I will leave this open in case this issue of JDK 10, 11, 12, and 13 incompatibility still needs to be tracked.

Thanks for the issue, I'm glad you got it working. We do want to find the best way to deal with JDK discrepancies. There is a similar issue here: #44

We've upgraded to use Robolectric 4.3. That seemed to fix the case where I'd seen this issue. Interested to know if it still happens for anyone else.
