Android build error on react-native ^0.69.1

[gax97]

After upgrading from 0.68.1 to react-native 0.69.1 I am getting the following error after trying to build on android. Hermes is enabled

> Configure project :react-native-mmkv
MMKV: node_modules/ found at: /Users/user/Documents/project/node_modules

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

Any update ? I am also getting similar error in iOS with latest React Native 0.69.4.

I got it fixed with this: #413

@gax97 you encountered this because most likely your android/settings.gradle file is incorrect. Make sure to include Hermes within the if-statement:

if (settings.hasProperty("newArchEnabled") && settings.newArchEnabled == "true") {
    include(":ReactAndroid")
    project(":ReactAndroid").projectDir = file('../node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid')
    include(":ReactAndroid:hermes-engine")
    project(":ReactAndroid:hermes-engine").projectDir = file('../node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine')
}

Hey! Sorry I cannot reproduce the issue here and it has been inactive for a while. I am going over issues right now and want to keep the repo clean - so I'm closing this for now, if anyone can post a reproduceable example here I can re-open and take a look :)
