Java 7 to Java 11 migration blocking issue - Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 91

Question

I'm migrating an app from Jdk 7 to Jdk 11 , everything was going fine, the build was successful, but when i tried to run the migrated app (jdk 11) version, I faced the following error.

    Caused by: java.lang .VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 91
    Exception Details:

Most solutions that i've viewed suggest to downgrade the project's jdk to jdk6 which won't work for me unfortunately, I tried to add -noverify option as VM Arguments and it resulted into some weird error I couldn't understand.

I also checked the compiled class byte code version which corresponds to 55<=>Jdk.11 .

I'm using the following jdk 11 distribution jdk-11.0.7.10-hotspot .

Thank you in advance

The option is -noverify with one - , not * --noverify with two.

If you are using any bytecode instrumentation or aspect-oriented programming libraries, anything that would use ASM, or using PowerMockito or Powermock to mock final classes, make sure you've upgraded those dependencies to newer versions, preferably the latest versions.
