Desugaring is required if app does not support API levels 21 to 25

[magdamagda]

According to the documentation https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/gdi/get-data-in/rum/android/install-rum-android.html

To instrument applications that run on Android API levels 21 to 25, you must activate desugaring.

Our application min sdk version is 30, however we still need to activate desugaring to use com.splunk:splunk-otel-android:1.7.0. Otherwise we see an error:

Execution failed for task ':xxx:checkGeneralDevDebugAndroidTestAarMetadata'.
 > A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
    > 3 issues were found when checking AAR metadata:
      
      1.  Dependency ':xxx' requires core library desugaring to be enabled

      2.  Dependency 'com.splunk:splunk-otel-android:1.7.0' requires core library desugaring to be enabled

(Replaced our package name with xxx).

Is it expected? Is it possible to use the newest version of splunk-otel-android with min sdk 30 without desugaring?
