Gradle "Implicit dependencies between tasks" warning on fresh install

Description

Multiple warnings on a fresh React Native project during Android Release build.

The warnings are related with Implicit Dependencies.

Eg.

Execution optimizations have been disabled for task ':app:copyReleaseBundledJs' to ensure correctness due to the following reasons:
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '<path>/PocDependency/android/app/build/intermediates'. Reason: Task ':app:analyticsRecordingRelease' uses this output of task ':app:copyReleaseBundledJs' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed. Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency for more details about this problem.

Please see full log on code example.

Thank you.
