Hey! 👋

It looks like you've omitted a few important sections from the issue template.

Please complete Description, Steps To Reproduce, Reproduction and Platform sections.

I have the exact same issue.
reproduction:
npx react-native init rn_screens_issue
cd rn_screens_issue
yarn android
yarn add @react-navigation/native
yarn android
yarn add react-native-safe-area-context
yarn android
yarn add react-native-screens
yarn android
last command fails with a series of "Class 'kotlin.Unit' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.4.0."

editing android/build.gradle as per the github instructions had no effect on this error, and downgrading to kotlin 1.4.0 is impossible with the current version of Android Studio

reproduction in https://github.com/erikms61/rn_screens_issue.git

Please upgrade kotlinVersion to 1.7.0 Cheers

Sometimes, feeling a noob can be very rewarding. For future reference, this is the diff
android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext {
+        kotlinVersion = "1.7.0"
        buildToolsVersion = "31.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 31
        targetSdkVersion = 31

Seems duplicate of #1449

Could you provide a snippet of code, a snack or a link to a GitHub repository that reproduces the problem?

It's work to solve the problem

This fix gives Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0. any idea why I'm having this ?
