I get this error when i try to build an app in react native. This error persist whenever i try to use react-native-vector-icons inside my project

C:\Users\HP\Desktop\NativeApps\Project\NativeApp\android>gradlew build
> Task :app:generateDebugLintReportModel FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:generateDebugLintReportModel' (type 'LintModelWriterTask').
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'C:\Users\HP\Desktop\NativeApps\Project\NativeApp\android\app\build\intermediates\ReactNativeVectorIcons'.

    Reason: Task ':app:generateDebugLintReportModel' uses this output of task ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

    Possible solutions:
      1. Declare task ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' as an input of ':app:generateDebugLintReportModel'.
      2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' from ':app:generateDebugLintReportModel' using Task#dependsOn.
      3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' from ':app:generateDebugLintReportModel' using Task#mustRunAfter.

    For more information, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency in the Gradle documentation.

For React Native 0.74.x you will need to apply the following patch:

 }

It seems as though the lint task names have changed when going from gradle 8.3 to 8.6.

@danielaloycedaniel @david-gettins Can you try this for me https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons/pull/1648/files

I'm want to tey a different direction for this since we've had to keep changing it the last few releases

Im encountering the same error in RN 0.74.3.

For a temp fix, im adding the following codes into the bottom of android/app/build.gradle file (still a newbie to RN land, not sure if this is a proper temp solution, though 😅):

afterEvaluate {
    tasks.named('generateDebugLintReportModel').configure {
        dependsOn tasks.named('copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts')
    }

    tasks.named('lintAnalyzeDebug').configure {
        dependsOn tasks.named('copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts')
    }    
}

Will be fixed in upcoming release by #1648
