Version 8 of the Sentry React Native SDK updates the underlying native SDKs (Cocoa v9, CLI v3, Android Gradle Plugin v6) which introduce breaking changes in minimum version requirements and build tooling.

See our [migration docs](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/migration/v7-to-v8/) for more information.

I think it is since if an React Native project was using an older AGP version and bumps to SDK v8 their build will break with an incompatibility error unless they also upgrade to AGP 7.4.0+
