Android Studio – java.io.IOException: null InputStream when changing higher SDK version in android studio

I am very new to android and java development.

I am trying to devlop an app and integrate one SDK from Emarsys.. This SDK requires the app to use higher sdk version.

But after changing the SDK version to the higher version (33), I have an error and the app is always being terminated immediately..

 DropBoxUtil             pid-9840  [AppErrors] null InputStream [CONTEXT service_id=254 ]
                                                                                                    java.io.IOException: null InputStream
                                                                                                        at boqn.c(:com.google.android.gms@[email protected] (150400-505809224):23)

Here is my gradle.bundle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

}

gradle in project

        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

apply from: "variables.gradle"

allprojects {
    repositories {

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I am not sure what causing it, because I haven’t even started to integrate the service from SDK..
