java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.apphosting.utils.remoteapi.RemoteApiServlet - spring-mvc

Question

I am getting this error while deploying a new version.
Build tool: gradle
Although the same code with a different version that was deployed some time back is working well. The exceptions are as below. On local env code is working fine.

Answer 1

This error is due to the old SDK,
here you can download the most updated version of it.
