Summary
This is the minimum required change for this module to work on react-native 0.73 which includes android gradle plugin 8
It is backwards compatible with all previous versions of react-native that include android gradle plugin 7 or even 6 and older
It is similar to changes I needed to do as react-native-firebase maintainer --> invertase/react-native-firebase@b52d0ce
Test Plan
With apologies, you have to alter an app that integrates this module to use android gradle plugin 8 to see the error, it's difficult to do that in repos I'm proposing these changes in because bumping to android gradle plugin 8 requires a large amount of transitive dependency changes in CI
I have integrated this in an app and tested it, and done similar work as maintainer of react-native-firebase, react-native-netinfo and react-native-device-info, and I'm now pushing these out to the repos
Cheers
