I was attempting to make updates to my app on playstore and when I was preparing a package on colab I ran into this error, how od i update my java version if this is the actual error or otherwise how do i address it if the error is something else?

I was able to figure out what the problem is, the problem stemmed from the Snackbar.  Apparently kivymd was upgraded to version 1.2.0 but my app from the beginning was using version 1.1.1 and i didnt  specify the kivymd version in my buildozer spec file requirements, this caused it to download the latest version (1.2.0) by default and for some reason I guess the Snackbar in the latest version(1.2.0) doesnt work the same as in the previous version(1.1.1) I dont know please someone clarify that for me and this caused the app to crush. So i specified the version in my buildozer spec file to use version 1.1.1, this solved my problem.
