Package "react-native-google-auth" does not contain a valid config plugin

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
• I tested using a supported version of react native.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

I installed this in my expo app sdk53 but getting the error Package "react-native-google-auth" does not contain a valid config plugin when I tried to make dev build.

I used the command npx expo install react-native-google-auth

and added the config plugin plugins: [...somePlugins, "react-native-google-auth"]

I also obtained my google client credentials from google cloud console and included it in the root of the project.

I did everything as described in the readme but no success in making the build, please assist! Thanks a lot!!
