Hi This is my first app in react native. I am trying to Use react-native-image-picker. But it is not allowing me to build the app. I am getting the following error

I am Using following version

Android gradle plugin: 7.4.2 Gradle: 8.2.1

I tried cleaning the gradle inside android. I have completed the post installation steps. I tried every solution available on internet as well. Still the build is getting failed. could anyone please help me with this issue

Add mavenCentral() in settings.gradle like this: https://i.sstatic.net/CuHCD.png

This might work.

Another solution: implementation "com.android.support:exifinterface:27.1.0"
