Please do not post such walls of text, but a sort message and then longer snippets in it's thread. That makes following the channel much easier, especially on mobile. Besides that, is there a question hidden somewhere? :-)

https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/34613 <-- there are some people complaining about this exact same issue here. Perhaps one of their proposed workarounds works to resolve this?

For anyone following from India here, the ministry of electronics in India caused the Kotlin Gradle Plugin URLs of 1.9.24 to be blocked. This causes the "this is blocked" HTML page to be downloaded as jar file as the blocking is not accompanied with an according HTTP status response, which can then not be read by Gradle as jar file of course. Update KGP version to 1.9.25 and it should work. (Until they block that too eventually)
