Android version fails to build in this project

[brianzoller]

I was able to build and run this sample project on the iOS simulator, but attempting to build the project for Android fails. Checking out the project and running according to the README results in this error. Note that the gradle plugin has moved from node_modules/react-native-gradle-plugin to node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin in some version prior to React Native 0.73.5.
