Android release build GC overhead limit exceeded after upgrade to 0.67.3

Description

I have upgraded RN from 0.63.3 to 0.67.3, when I try to build debug on android it works fine, but when I try to build release with ./gradlew app:assembleRelease fail with GC overhead limit exceeded

I did increase heap memory in gradle.properties this way: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=4096m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 but doesn’t work.

I run ./gradlew app:assembleRelease --scan and I found these errros:

Moreover when I try to bundle assets separately with this command npx react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res and build with ./gradlew app:bundleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets It build successfully but APK size is way beyond its normal size, normally APK size is 50MB and with this it’s 135MB.

I was able to build with Gradle 6.7 and Gradle plugin 4.1.0. Most likely it’s problem with the Gradle version.
