I am using React-Native cli to develop my react native app but I have encountered an issue and there was no chance to get it fixed.

What I tried

• remove nodemodules and package-lock.json and npm i

• update react native and expo to latest version

• sync project with android studio

What i receive when sync project in android studio

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

then go to VS code and cd android -> ./gradlew clean -> ./gradlew build

and get this error when run ./gradlew build :

Task :expo:compileDebugKotlin FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':expo:compileDebugKotlin'. A failure occurred while executing .jetbrains.kotlinpilerRunner.GradleCompilerRunnerWithWorkers$GradleKotlinCompilerWorkAction Compilation error. See log for more details

android\build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "35.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 24
        compileSdkVersion = 35
        targetSdkVersion = 35
        ndkVersion = "27.1.12297006"
        kotlinVersion = "2.0.21"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral() 
    }
     
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.2'
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath(".jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin")
    }
}

apply plugin: "com.facebook.react.rootproject"

package.json

  "expo": "^52.0.19",
  "react-native": "^0.78.1"

any suggestions would be appreciated.

UPDATE

I updated expo task manager to latest then got :

Task :expo:compileDebugKotlin FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
