Gradle Build Problem

[Meinos Kaen]

Ever since upgrading to the most recent version of Ren'Py, I haven't been able to package an Android version of my games and the text-log doesn't offer much help to someone unfamiliar with Gradle. This is the text I received:

Ren'Py 7.1.0.882

Updating project.

Creating assets directory.

Packaging internal data.

I'm using Gradle to build the package.
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 stopped Daemon could not be reused, use --status for details

The build seems to have failed.

Anyone can suggest me what to do next for troubleshooting/solving this conundrum?
