I'm wondering whether this issue is the same as https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/15634, because the Android SDK transitively uses room.

Can you try updating room to the latest version?

dependencies {
     implementation "com.plaid.link:sdk-core:3.8.0"
+    implementation "androidx.room:room-ktx:2.4.2"
}

I had a similar issue with a non-expo project.

Warning: The 'kotlin-android-extensions' Gradle plugin is deprecated. 

Solution was to go to node_modules/react-native-plaid-link-sdk/android/build.gradle, and add:

android {
  buildFeatures {
      viewBinding true
  }
}

Closing because Plaid Link React Native 7.x.x is no longer supported. If the issue persists in the latest SDK please open a new issue.
