build fails with using deprecated gradle features #262
Description
Description
I attempted to build a React Native Android app that includes the New Relic Gradle plugin, but the build fails during Gradle evaluation. The error indicates that the plugin is attempting to use the removed Transform API (android.registerTransform), which is not available in Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8.6.0.
Steps to Reproduce
start android app with below package version
"react-native": "0.76.3",
"newrelic-react-native-agent": "^1.5.11",
Expected Behavior
shold success to build an app
Relevant Logs / Console output
The New Relic plugin may not be compatible with Android Gradle plugin version 8.6.0.
AGP versions 4.0.1 - 7.4.4 are officially supported.
Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.
