Google Api PHP Client Syntax Error on PHP 7 – PHP Versions

  • OS: macOS Big Sur
  • PHP version: 7.4.1
  • Package name and version: google/apiclient: ^2.12.3

Whenever I switch the PHP version to 7.4.1 I get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'static' (T_STATIC) in /Users/webtechstreet4/Local Sites/fvtest/app/public/wp-content/plugins/form-vibes-pro/vendor/psr/cache/src/CacheItemInterface.php on line 75

The library works great on PHP 8 but gives the above error when switching to PHP 7.

    Actually, I sorted it out by changing the system PHP version and running composer update. I thought I needed to change the site PHP version but it was actually the system PHP version.

    here is the GitHub issue link: https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client/issues/2246

    it is because, static return type is available only for PHP 8, I have same issue, just for temporary you can change
    .vendorpsrcachesrcCacheItemInterface.php
    line number 75 just remove return type static like this
    public function set($value);
