react native 0.73.9 build fails with unresolved reference 'serviceOf' in @react-native/gradle-plugin/build.gradle.kts since upgrading to gradle 8.10

My colleague upgraded gradle 8.0 to 8.10 so that react-native 0.73.9 could work on Android, targetting API 34.
It’s working on his computer, but not on mine.
I’m still having the same error, with unresoved reference ‘serviceOf’ :

> Configure project :gradle-plugin
The org.gradle.api.plugins.Convention type has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 9.0. Consult the upgrading guide for further information: https://docs.gradle.org/8.10/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#deprecated_access_to_conventions

I tried this :

• npm install, and then npm start, press a ===> I have exactly the same error
• deleting node_modules, npm install, npm start, press a ===> same error
• npx react-native doctor ===> everything seems to be set up correctly
• npm start –reset-cache ===> same error
• ./gradlew clean ===> same error
• ./gradlew clean –warning-mode all ===> same error, nothing more

Just in case I upgraded my android studio (cause my colleague is on Koala version) :

• installing android studio Koala, setting up environnement variable and everything => same error when building
• installing android studio ladybug, … => same error

I don’t understand why I still have the same error, and why it’s working for my colleague
