Execution failed for task ':react-native-svg:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

Bug

I ran following comments for setup, npm i react-native-copilot npm i react-native-svg react-native link react-native-svg

everything fine, but I’m getting build time error.

Ok, I found it. It was a problem with my build.gradle. Obviously this is because I’m a) doing a big upgrade and b) don’t know what I’m doing!
