| For AGP 7.x, it's recommended to use Java 11, 17, or 20 to avoid DexWorkAction / D8 issues. | ||
| While Java 21 might technically work, it's safer to avoid it due to potential compatibility quirks. |

Since we know "AGP 7.x’s D8 supports bytecode up to v61, so Java 21+ (v65+) fails." why not explicitly mention that 21+ will not work?

Fixed and updated the message.Thanks!

| gRPC Java does not support running a server on an Android device. For this | ||
| quick start, the Android client app will connect to a server running on your | ||
| local (non-Android) computer. | ||

Move/merge this up earlier near/with the "Prerequisites". I don't think we need to give all the details here. Just something more like, "The example defaults to AGP 7.x which needs Java 11-17. If you upgrade it to AGP 8.x, it needs Java 17+"
