Might not be linked to this dependency, but to ReactNative 0.72.4 - which is using a newer version of Gradle

Adding that in your build.gradle should fix your issue

android {
    buildFeatures {
        buildConfig = true
    }
}

However it might fails further because the dependency needs to define a namespace. I'll push a fix for that
