* What went wrong:
Failed to query the value of property 'buildFlowServiceProperty'.
> Could not isolate value org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.statistics.BuildFlowService$Parameters_Decorated@51645e1d of type BuildFlowService.Parameters
   > A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-clipboard_clipboard'.
      > Could not create an instance of type com.android.build.api.variant.impl.LibraryVariantBuilderImpl.
         > Namespace not specified. Specify a namespace in the module's build file. See https://d.android.com/r/tools/upgrade-assistant/set-namespace for information about setting the namespace.

           If you've specified the package attribute in the source AndroidManifest.xml, you can use the AGP Upgrade Assistant to migrate to the namespace value in the build file. Refer to https://d.android.com/r/tools/upgrade-assistant/agp-upgrade-assistant for general information about using the AGP Upgrade Assistant.

Reproducible Demo

[sten-nico]

I got the same issue :(

[tapz]

Downgrading to Gradle wrapper 8.2.1 helped. 8.3 does not seem to work with React Native.

[Kinqdos]

Doesnt works for me. Can someone just add a namespace to the build.gradle?

[Aymkdn]

Same issue here. Any solution?

[grant-devon]

I have the same issue

[littlefrogyq]

I had the same problem when I import opencv module. Then I add some code to the build.gradle(opencv) file, and my problem solved:

android { namespace 'com.example.mytestapp' // added compileSdk 34 ...

[eisodev]

This comes up when upgrading Android Gradle Plugin to >= 8.

Updating the package to try to solve this will add two new peerDependencies from 1.14.0: "react-native-macos": "^0.73.0", "react-native-windows": "^0.73.0"

Why do I need to install these two when they are not used? I don't develop for windows. And this change is breaking too, and there is no mentions/docs for the new version.
