but when executing the run command from the linked android studio build it runs. Any clue as to why?

for using jdk 21 you need to use gradle 8.4, which is not officially supported for android development yet
for android development jdk 17 is recommended

[chitgoks]

perhaps 8.5 will do? ive been deploying android apps with gradle 8.5 and jdk 21. one thing confused me though. if i deploy it using android studio, it works ok (gradle 8.5, agp 8.2.0, jdk 21). but the cli shows that even, even if i used the default gradle settings as well as jdk 17.

For using gradle 8.4 you should use gradle plugin 8.3, which is in beta stage.
For using gradle 8.6 you should use gradle plugin 8.4, which is in alpha stage.

I can't find information about gradle 8.5, but I would imagine it would also require gradle plugin 8.4.

With other versions it might or might not work, but it's not recommended to use different versions than the recommended.

The issue was using JDK 21 which is unsupported by capacitor, you must use JDK 17 or lower with Capacitor5
