react-native-vactor-icon is causing error after update react native 0.72

What went wrong: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease' (type 'AndroidLintAnalysisTask').
- Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'C:\React-Projects\English-Muni\android\app\build\intermediates\ReactNativeVectorIcons'.
  
  Reason: Task ':app:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease' uses this output of task ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.
  
  Possible solutions:
  1. Declare task ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' as an input of ':app:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease'.
  2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' from ':app:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease' using Task#dependsOn.
  3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:copyReactNativeVectorIconFonts' from ':app:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease' using Task#mustRunAfter.
  Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.0.1/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency for more details about this problem.

Here is the app/build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin'
apply plugin: "com.android.application"
apply plugin: "com.facebook.react"


import com.android.build.OutputFile


android {
  ndkVersion rootProject.ext.ndkVersion

  compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion

  namespace "com.englishmuni"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.englishmuni"
    minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
    targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
    versionCode 36
    versionName "1.0.32"
    buildConfigField "boolean", "IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED", 
    isNewArchitectureEnabled().toString()
    multiDexEnabled true
  }
   }

     }

dependencies {

  implementation project(':react-native-vector-icons')
}

apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform- 
android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project)
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"

Solution

Here is the simpler patch that works for variants on RN 0.72,for vector icons. You have to replace these lines in /node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle

afterEvaluate {
     .
     .
     .
     android.applicationVariants.all { def variant ->
        def targetName = variant.name.capitalize()
        def lintVitalAnalyzeTask = tasks.findByName("lintVitalAnalyze${targetName}")
            if (lintVitalAnalyzeTask) {
                lintVitalAnalyzeTask.dependsOn(fontCopyTask)
            }
        def generateAssetsTask = tasks.findByName("generate${targetName}Assets")
        generateAssetsTask.dependsOn(fontCopyTask)
    }

then patch the package. npx patch-package react-native-vector-icons
