Sharing how to run this library in RN 0.79.1 on Android

I love this library because it is simple and easy to use, now this library is already old and outdated so when I installed it in RN 0.79.1 I encountered an error when running the app on android

error Failed to install the app. Command failed with exit code 1: ./gradlew app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081
Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugDuplicateClasses'.

so to solve it, I just added:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

inside gradle.properties . . after that, I ran the app again and the splash screen worked same as the old version of my app. . hope it helps
