Android build issue moving to 0.76.2

[ajouve]

Description

I had an error moving to RN 0.76.2 following this helper https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.74.3&to=0.76.2

I resolved this issue keeping android.enableJetifier=true but this should not be a good practice

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade from RN 0.74.3 ro RN 0.76.2
2. Run ./gradlew bundleRelease

React Native Version

0.76.2

Affected Platforms

Runtime - Android, Build - MacOS

I have the same issue. However, since I use eas and expo, the prebuild command during the EAS build process alway clean the android directory, so even the enableJetifier=true solution isn't a viable temp solution for me, as it won't add that line in the gradle.properties.
