[Bug] [Crash] Upgrade from 12.7.0 to 12.8.0 wont build due to: Execution failed for task ':checkDebugAarMetadata'... downgrading back to 12.7.0 builds fine!

### [REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

* Pre-built SDK from the [website](https://firebase.google.com/download/cpp) or open-source from this repo: repo
* Firebase C++ SDK version: 12.8.0
* Problematic Firebase Component: build
* Other Firebase Components in use: n/a
* Platform you are using the C++ SDK on: Windows
* Platform you are targeting: Android

### [REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

for existing project i only upgraded cpp sdk folder form 12.7.0 to 12.8.0, changed nothing (as always when upgrading)

#### Steps to reproduce:

Have you been able to reproduce this issue with just the [Firebase C++ quickstarts](https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-cpp) n/a as i work with cmake
What's the issue repro rate? (eg 100%, 1/5 etc) 100%

What happened? How can we make the problem occur?

```

NOTE:
1) even when its visible, I build from sdk 35 targetting sdk 34 with minimal sdk 26, so in theory **Desugaring** shall not be required at all!
2) tho for the test I tried to include **desugaring** according docs, but it just wont find the method coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled().. sure its not your issue i should address it in desugarging repo, but to me opinion the desugarging here is mistake and shall not be required by new 12.8.0 cpp sdk
