@config-plugins/react-native-branch android build error (Task :config-plugins-react-native-branch:compileReleaseKotlin FAILED)

[cbadour]

Summary

I am trying to integrate my branch.io project with my react native expo project.
I am using expo sdk 51 with @config-plugins/react-native-branch 8.0.0

Expected to build directly on android but it is giving me an error
(The issue is only with Android build, IOS build is working fine)

Config Plugin

@config-plugins/react-native-branch

What platform(s) does this occur on?

Android

SDK Version

51.0.11

Reproducible demo

Those are the packages used in my package.json file

"@config-plugins/react-native-branch": "^8.0.0",
"react-native-branch": "^6.2.2",
"expo": "~51.0.11",

I followed the instructions to install and configure @config-plugins/react-native-branch from .

When i try to build my app for the android platform:

npx expo preuild -p android
cd android
./gradlew clean
./gradlew assembleRelease

it is giving the following error

> Task :config-plugins-react-native-branch:compileReleaseKotlin FAILED

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

I did my research and tried several solution changing in my build.gradle files, but the error is persisting and i am not able to build my android project

my build.gradle after several fixes are as follow

Hey guys, here is a patch file that worked for me with Expo 51 and React Native 0.74.5 curtesy of ChatGPT until the Expo team pushes a fix for this.
