Error running run-android on a React project

Question

I am trying to run the command "React-Native run-android" in project that was passed to me and is not working.

I have tried to change the file Gradle.properties to use Androidx but only gives another error, I have also tried to change the manifest file as the error suggests but also does not work.

Look here is not really an answer and after a while I’ll take it, it’s just to try to help you somehow....

You see, when it happens to me errors of this type with compilers and executors and in which I cannot solve, as a last attempt I create a new project, run to see if everything is okay and then I pass all the classes and implementations. If it works, I keep on the new project and abandon the old....

I have no point in this account to be able to comment so I wrote my suggestion as a reply even.... (Obs! I will take it because it is just for you to see even)
