React Native error while building for android – Task :react-native-gesture-handler:compileReleaseKotlin FAILED

Here is the error I’m facing while building the android apk of a branch. (does not happen while building for ios). I have been using react-native-gesture-handler since years on this codebase but never faced this error.

This error started occuring after a pr was merged, but this pr does not contain any android side native change.

Version Info :
react-native-gesture-handler: ^2.3.2
kotlin version in build.gradle: 1.6.10
react-native version: 0.68.5

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

Have tried popular solutions for this issue like :

1. using this

npm i jetifier
npx jetify

2. these are already present in gradle.properties :

android.useAndroidX=true  
android.enableJetifier=true

but still the issue is not getting solved!

Please share any solutions or ask any info . It will be super helpful.
