Cannot resolve method 'newFactory' in XMLInputFactory MSGraph

Question

The problem occurs within the XmlFactory java file from com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat This is being used by the the MSGraph sdk for Java https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-java

I am trying to use it to send emails but get the following runtime error

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method newFactory(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/ClassLoader;)Ljavax/xml/stream/XMLInputFactory; in class Ljavax/xml/stream/XMLInputFactory; or its super classes

After some investigating it seems that the XMLInputFactory and XMLOutputFactory comes from an older version (stax:stax-api:1.0.1 I think according to the gradle dependency tree) before newFactory replaced newInstance Hence why the newFactory method cannot be resolved

Though I could be missing something I believe that this is the where the problem is, just that I don't know how to fix it.

Here is my build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
}

android {
    compileSdk 32

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.organisation.appname"

    }
    buildFeatures {
        viewBinding true
    }

    packagingOptions {

}

Though I believe the problem is as mentioned above, here is some other potentially relevant information. The error occurs when calling

this.interactiveBrowserCredential = new InteractiveBrowserCredentialBuilder()
            .clientId(clientId)
            .redirectUrl(myRedirectURL)
            .build();

Here is the relevant section of my code

public Emailing() {
        this.interactiveBrowserCredential = new InteractiveBrowserCredentialBuilder()
            .clientId(clientId)
            .redirectUrl(myRedirectURL)
            .build();

        this.tokenCredentialAuthProvider = new TokenCredentialAuthProvider(scopes, interactiveBrowserCredential);

        this.graphClient = GraphServiceClient
            .builder()
            .authenticationProvider(tokenCredentialAuthProvider)
            .buildClient();
}

public void emailForVisitorArrival(String name, String purpose, List<String> recipients) {
        Date timestamp = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
        String timestampText = (String) DateFormat.format("dd MMM yyyy | hh:mm a", timestamp);

        Message message = new Message();
        message.subject = name + " has arrived.";
        ItemBody body = new ItemBody();
        body.contentType = BodyType.TEXT;
        body.content = myEmailContent;
        message.body = body;
        LinkedList<Recipient> toRecipientsList = new LinkedList<Recipient>();
        Recipient toRecipients = new Recipient();
        for (String recipient: recipients) {
            EmailAddress emailAddress = new EmailAddress();
            emailAddress.address = recipient;
            toRecipients.emailAddress = emailAddress;
            toRecipientsList.add(toRecipients);
            message.toRecipients = toRecipientsList;
        }

        graphClient.me()
                .sendMail(UserSendMailParameterSet
                        .newBuilder()
                        .withMessage(message)
                        .withSaveToSentItems(false)
                        .build())
                .buildRequest()
                .post();
}

I have tried the commented out lines in the build.gradle

Thank you for any help you can give me, let me know id more information is required and I will update the question.
