indy-vdr-react-native won't build for RN > 0.73.11

[befman123]

For RN above 0.73.11 the @hyperledger/indy-vdr-react-native won't build on android. Haven't tried on ios
I have tried with expo 54, 51 won't work works only for expo 50 also for RN0.73.11
node v22.20.0
Nothing but the starter code on RN / Expo and I'm obviously not using Expo Go
I'm trying to use it with credo-ts
I checked and my min-sdkversion is set to 24 not 21. Instead, what i think is going on is that the package has min sdk set to 21 but I don't understand why it would complain about my RN / Expo app having min sdk 24
All I did is use the starter expo project template
1 npx create-expo-app expofiftyone
2 cd expofiftyone && touch yarn. Lock
3 yarn add @hyperledger/indy-vdr-react-native
4 npx expo prebuild
5 npx expo run:android

Configure project :expo

Will be fixed by #342 or alternatively you could create a patch which sets the minSdkVersion to 24. It is a known bug, but we have not had the time to resolve it properly.

The patch should just be on:

indy-vdr/wrappers/javascript/indy-vdr-react-native/android/build.gradle

Line 88 in 203c29e

minSdkVersion getExtWithFallback('minSdkVersion', '21')

-     minSdkVersion getExtWithFallback('minSdkVersion', '21') 
+     minSdkVersion getExtWithFallback('minSdkVersion', '24')

I'm using 0.2.2 version of the package and it is significantly different from the GitHub package I keep getting this issue

Task :hyperledger_indy-vdr-react-native:configureCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a] FAILED
C/C++: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:30 (add_library):
C/C++: Target "indyvdrreactnative" links to target "ReactAndroid::reactnativejni"
C/C++: but the target was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for
C/C++: an IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing?
C/C++: CMake Generate step failed. Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.
I assume I have to rebuild the package from the repo. I don't have the technical know-how for that and the build .sh file in the root seems to require a mac. if you have a better solution for me, please help @berendsliedrecht Thanks anyways.

This is a common issue when you try it with the latest react native. I would wait for the open PR to be merged and use the latest version then, it should not be long before it is merged.
