It means your are doing "something" wrong in the `android { ... }` closure. Unfortunately the error reporting there is extremely bad with Groovy DSL. One reason I exclusively use Kotlin DSL nowadays. To find the problem you needed to comment out the content and readd it line by line.

Thank you for responding. I believe my biggest issue is that I’m trying to upgrade from AGP 4.XX to 7.1.3. I think it broke a few of my packages.

It’s actually throwing that error for all the react-native packages

I uninstalled instabug-reactnative thinking that would help but it complained about the next package.

&gt; How can I switch to Kotlin DSL?

Basically rename the build script and append .kts and port the Groovy syntax to Kotlin syntax. But that's heavily simplified. :-D
