[Android] Build "Failed to create MD5 hash for file content" with RN 0.66 / Gradle plugin 4.2.2

[ponomarevv]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Looks like there is an issue with latest RN version (it was fixed when I updated gradle plugin version to be the same as in RN itself)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-email-link'.
> Failed to create MD5 hash for file content.

I used patch-package to patch [email protected], here is the diff that solved my problem:

also i added gradlePluginVersion variable to the root project build.gradle ext
