Android: Can I use google cloud storage API for SDK less than 26?

I am trying to use Google's cloud storage to upload files to a bucket. I added this to my app level gradle.build:

implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-storage:1.103.0'

but when I try to run my app I get this error:

MethodHandle.invoke and MethodHandle.invokeExact are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26)

Is there any workaround to support smaller SDK's? My min SDK is 19.

I managed to solve this by adding:

packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/INDEX.LIST'
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
    }

That Cloud SDK is not meant for use with Android apps. If you want to access Cloud Storage from Android, you should use the Firebase SDK.
