React Native SDK incompatible with Gradle 9.0.0 (Expo SDK 55 / RN 0.83)

[Hideart]

The @sumsub/react-native-mobilesdk-module@1.40.2 android/build.gradle uses deprecated APIs removed in Gradle 9:

1. lintOptions block (line 51) should be lint
2. androidJavadoc.destinationDir (line 124) should be destinationDirectory

Expo SDK 55 / React Native 0.83 uses Gradle 9.0.0 which breaks the build

If you want to support older AGP versions you can fix it something like

// For lint
if (android.hasProperty('lint')) {
    lint { abortOnError false }
} else {
    lintOptions { abortOnError false }
}

// For destinationDir/destinationDirectory
from androidJavadoc.hasProperty('destinationDirectory')
    ? androidJavadoc.destinationDirectory
    : androidJavadoc.destinationDir

But this is overkill (IMHO) because the lint supports since 7.0 AGP and destinationDirectory since 6.1 Gradle
React Native 0.70.0 already requires AGP 7.2, so idk how old projects you support but looks like it can be just replaced

If it's possible, can you fix that before the 55 expo sdk will release as stable?
Thank you in advance

SDK 55 is already out and Sumsub's SDK is blocking us from upgrading 😓

We face with the same issue.

Meanwhile, I made a patch:

Looks like the repo is abandoned now, I've just hopped the devs periodically read new issues here
