Gradle fails because of the following lines which are not valid Kotlin:

  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }

These assignments need an =. So the bug is effectively in the Google sample, not Gradle. You will have to post back on that issue that was closed by the Google side.

@ljacomet Guys I already reported there:
googleads/googleads-mobile-android-examples#787

And I don't get why it even got updated last month, without building it and seeing that this issue exists...
