It might be a gradle problem? I’m not sure…

I tried: cd android/ && ./gradlew clean && cd .. && npx react-native run-android but not luck…

UPDATE – 1:

I was able to reproduce the exact same build error using the following steps and I have also shared a reproducible repo: https://github.com/theartificialguy/rn-m1

1) on an M1 MacBook -> npx react-native init m1project --version 0.69.6
2) npx react-native run-android -> It was working.
3) npx install-expo-modules@latest
4) npx expo install expo-av
5) npx react-native run-android -> Got the same build error as mentioned in the title.

Can someone shed some light on this issue?

If anyone need more info I can provide, just ask what you need…
