[BUG] Use maven-publish to support React Native 0.67 > 0.68

[Derewith]

Description

The maven plugin has been deprecated since gradle 6.0 and was removed in gradle 7.0.

React Native 0.68.0 uses gradle 7.3.3

Upgrade the library to use maven-publish so it works with gradle 7.X and React Native 0.67 / 0.68

Test code and steps to reproduce

Install the library in a project that has "react-native": "0.67.0" or major version

Example Reference

https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/pull/2881/files

Patch-package

I've made a patch that you can use if you need to use the library. ( I know it's not perfect but it works )

Hi @Derewith , sorry for the late answer. We have released 15.2 version of RN SDK, Gradle 7 should be supported now. If it still doesn't works for you please open a new issue.
