Based on a suggestion for another library producing a similar error, I have applied the following changes. They seem to work. The following code demonstrates ONLY the changes. I am NOT suggesting deleting the rest of the code in the file.
File: android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        minSdkVersion = 21 // change this one from 16 to 21 
        kotlinVersion = "1.3.72" // add this line 
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion" // add this line 
    }
}

Dropping Android 4 support is no solution for us.

Why was this changed in a recent release? Does the library require this now? The docs do not include any information and there are no changelogs.

The solution proposed by @Bilal-Abdeen works but the app crash on startup. It now compile properly though.

[Bilal-Abdeen]

@clamiax Try the following

1. cd /android
2. gradlew clean
3. cd ..
4. npx react-native run-android

[clamiax]

@Bilal-Abdeen I already tried but with no luck. The app keep crashing on startup.

EDIT: I currently "solved" with react-native-push-notification.

[axeljeremy7]

in my case:
"react-native": "0.61.5",
"react-native-notifications": "^3.3.4",
it is working for me fine so far.

buildscript { ext { buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3" minSdkVersion = 24 compileSdkVersion = 29 targetSdkVersion = 29 appCompatVersion = "1.0.2" googlePlayServicesVersion = "+" kotlinVersion = "1.3.72" } repositories { google() jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2' classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3' classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion" } }

Your solutions works in my application.

version

"react-native": "0.63.2"
"react-native-notifications": "^3.3.4"

android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        // googlePlayServicesVersion = "+"
        // firebaseMessageVersion = "+"
        buildToolsVersion = "29.0.2"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 29
        targetSdkVersion = 29
        kotlinVersion = "1.3.72"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3")
        classpath("com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3")
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion"
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

[danielwinkler]

"react-native-push-notification": "^5.1.1"

you are using a different library ;-) ?

[HackerTon]

@danielwinkler ops, my bad. But the solutions works.

[danielwinkler]

I am using the same config as HackerTon (after he edited), after adding kotlin to the classpath everything works fine 🕺

@Bilal-Abdeen
I don't get it, Why we should drop support for android versions 14-20 just because of react-native-notification? 😕
