    I had the same error!

    Do it:

    In the android/build.gradle file, change the dependencies line to "gradle:7.4.2":

    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2")
    }

    In the android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, change the version of gradle:

    distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.6.1-bin.zip

    Go to the android directory and run the command:

    ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=7.6.1

    Hope this fixes it and helps you.
