Would appreciate your guidance in resolving this same.

Hey @qwertynik , complaigns about glob sound like you missed to set minSdkVersion to 28 or larger. Also, the last time I tried to build for Android on Windows, it did not work if using RN's New Architecture (see #20 for details).

Thanks for your response @birdofpreyru. Had typed in my response, but for some reason didn't send it!

Yes. This was the problem. Nice catch. After resolving this, fixing other self-explanatory issues, the server is up and running.
