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

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

I am also geting same error. does anyone have figured out solution ?

[neon010]

I solved this issue by switching the version of react-native-pager-view to 6.0.1. This build crashing is only happening in lattest version

I actually fixed this by deleted the android cache folder and restarted. Not sure why this was causing an issue.

C:\Users\.android\cache
