# 해결방법

: 나의 경우는 0.65.1 을 사용하고 있었기에  android > build.gradle 에서 아래 내용 추가하여 해결

추가로 스토어 배포를 위해서는 Android API 31 로 변경이 필요함

allprojects {
    repositories {
    ...
    }
    
    // 추가
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            // Remove this override in 0.65+, as a proper fix is included in react-native itself.
            force "com.facebook.react:react-native:" + REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
        }
    }
}
