@AslamJM I also experienced this issue in our demo application. I added these lines to my apps build.gradle. I am still investigating if there is a way to solve this at the SDK level.

    // Duplicate class androidx.lifecycle.ViewModelLazy found in modules jetified-lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx-2.3.0-runtime

Also just encountered this issue. Any idea on a fix? Seems like the android lib could be more flexible with its dependencies, perhaps?

@SonamSharmac6160 This worked for me (file path: android/build.gradle)

add ext.kotlin_version = '1.8.0-Beta' in buildscript add classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" in dependencies

Note: In my case "react-native": "0.72.5",
