Things I’ve done to figure out my issue

• I used upgrade-helper to do my upgrade.

I manually copy pasted the differences from the helper into my code.
I have verified multiple times to have copied the correct code couldn't find my mistake.

Upgrading version

From 0.72.3 to 0.74.1

clean installing the libraries resolved the issue for me.

Hello, i'm having the exact same error, update done with Rn Diff Helper, too, how did you fix it by "clean installing the libraries" would help me, thanks.

Make sure you use the correct path in android/settings.gradle

from :

includeBuild('../node_modules/react-native-gradle-plugin')

to :

includeBuild('../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin')
