Hi @squirly ,
Thanks for contributing!

[alexandergoncharov-zz]

Could you please clarify why are you using compileOnly here for react-native?

[squirly]

This is what I have seen in other react-native plugins but it seems that, per the linked document, api is the correct method to use.

@alexandergoncharov I have updated this PR.

Hi @squirly ,

Sorry for this delay.
I investigated it more closer and found that this changes affect users who still using Android Gradle Plugin less than 3.0.0 version. We are trying to support as much users as possible.
But you made good changes and a little later we will return to this PR and finish it. So, your efforts will not be lose.

So, for now I'm going to close this PR but please feel free to reopen it if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Alexander
