Hi, @saadi-ninjasCode – I had the same issue and worked around it by applying the advice suggested in the following article: https://sebhastian.com/plugin-with-id-kotlin-android-not-found

The same change might need to be made to the package itself but it provides a workaround for now.

Thanks. I fixed that by following the changes

add following line in android/gradle

classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion"

while kotlinVersion is mentioned in the same file under the ext section.
