Issue and Reproduction Steps

Hi!
When I try to build an app after react-native-gesture-handler android builds always fails with this error.
The same issue with Reanimated 3.1.0

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':react-native-gesture-handler:compileDebugAidl'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':react-native-gesture-handler:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.facebook.react:react-android:.
     Required by:
         project :react-native-gesture-handler

Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

Here is my project level build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33

        // We use NDK 23 which has both M1 support and is the side-by-side NDK version from AGP.
        ndkVersion = "23.1.7779620"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
    }
}

And module level build.gradle

apply plugin: "com.android.application"
apply plugin: "com.facebook.react"

    //   See https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md#bundle

A quick inspection of react-native-gradle-plugin and its build.gradle indicates that it is specifically dependent on Facebook's react-android library and has hardcoded their Maven group name com.facebook.react. If you change that to io.github.react-native-tvos, the problem should hopefully resolve itself. There is a new version of react-native-gradle-plugin that has just been released, that will hopefully deal with this automatically.

https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler/blob/5c25dc2f984bf4f3ed0481bf0fc210ede950dcd6/android/build.gradle#L261

Reopening this after testing with a project that includes both react-native-gesture-handler and react-native-reanimated.

• It seems that the react-native-gradle-plugin patch that I created needs some additional code to solve the dependency issues . I have the additional code working as a patch in this example application: https://github.com/douglowder/TVInputDemo/tree/0.71-testing
• Unfortunately, the above still does not fix react-native-reanimated if Hermes is enabled. Compilation fails due to a missing CMake config file. I am still investigating this issue.

Exactly the same problem here.

This is fixed by facebook/react-native#37445 , and will be included as soon as the core team backports this PR for the next 0.71 core release.
