incompatible with gradle 8.0

[imagina]

I'm trying to build my reactNative app for the Android platform, but I get this error "Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making them incompatible with Gradle 8.0."

@rankarpan I noticed that you authored the release PRs, any solution to this particular issue?

Same problem here

Today I used patch-package to patch @iconscout/react-native-unicons@2.0.2 for the project I'm working on.

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

Here is the diff that solved my problem:
