   We ran into the same issue when upgrading to Expo SDK 55 (React Native 0.83, Gradle 9).

   We're using patch-package to remove the embedded buildscript and allprojects blocks from android/build.gradle, since the parent project's Gradle configuration should be authoritative:

   diff --git a/node_modules/cleverpush-react-native/android/build.gradle b/node_modules/cleverpush-react-native/android/build.gradle
   index d3f6a00..cd9d8d9 100755
   --- a/node_modules/cleverpush-react-native/android/build.gradle

   -buildscript {
   -    repositories {
   -        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
   -        mavenCentral()
   -        jcenter()
   -    }
   -    dependencies {
   -        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0'
   -    }
   -}
   -
   -allprojects {
   -    repositories {
   -        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
   -        mavenCentral()
   -        jcenter()
   -    }
   -}
   -
    apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
   

   The jcenter() references and the hardcoded gradle:7.3.0 dependency are both unnecessary — the host project already provides these. Removing the entire buildscript and allprojects blocks fixes the build on Gradle 9+.

   Would be great to get this fixed upstream so we can drop the patch.
