Things I’ve done to figure out my issue

• [ ✓] I used upgrade-helper to do my upgrade.

Upgrading version

0.63 to 0.66

Description

Null Pointer Exception when try to build and run react Native on Android after upgrading react native version

even when I ran: cd android && ./gradlew clean I also get the same error. Nothing much details despite adding flags debug, info, and stacktrace.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

Reproducible demo

1. Run npx react-native run-android
2. or run cd android && ./gradlew clean
