I resolved it by deleting ~/.gradle

If you come across this issue on iOS and you're on RN 0.76, try running RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=0 bundle exec pod install

This turns off the new architecture on iOS and installs your cocoapods.

Hi, I encountered this problem too. I have managed to resolve it by rebuilding the app again and re-downloading the new APK file.

Follow these steps:

1. Rebuild your app
   eas build --profile development --platform android
2. Download the NEW APK file. After rebuilding your project with new dependencies, your APK file will be updated. The one currently in your phone is now "outdated". You have to redownload the APK file again.
3. Reinstall the App on your Android device

I hope this helps
