I resolved this with:

1. Go to node_modules/react-native-background-upload/android/build.gradle and make following changes:
2. Change: apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' -> apply plugin: 'kotlin-parcelize'

Then you can patch the package with this modification, to make it even if you run "yarn install"

For some reason this didn't work for me, but changing the following lines in node_modules/react-native-background-upload/android/build.gradle did.

1. kotlinVersion = '1.6.0' => kotlinVersion = '1.6.20'
2. classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3' => classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'
