The upgrade from Gradle 7.4 to 8.11.1 is a major version jump that may introduce breaking changes. Gradle 8 deprecated and removed several features that were present in Gradle 7. Since this is a major upgrade, ensure that all build scripts, plugins, and CI/CD pipelines have been tested thoroughly with the new Gradle version to verify there are no compatibility issues.
