It is impossible to tell what this PR is doing since the file was reformatted
Can you push a PR that only has the functional change you desire, plus a description of what the PR is doing?

Please note that attempts to make react-native-firebase compatible with JDK < 17 are likely not functional + cannot be supported, as the various toolchains have minimum requirements of JDK17 now

I see - for the reasons stated in the related issue, this will fix this specific compile issue with JDK17 being required, however that will not result in a supported configuration. JDK17 is the minimum supported version and needs to be used throughout your android app build toolchains. From that perspective, removing this JDK17-specific feature is actually a developer regression, as this JDK17 feature usage results in a very fast + very obvious failure for developers indicating to them immediately that something is wrong (where "something" is: you must use JDK17)
