React Native - Gradle build issues after upgrading to version 0.80.2 from 0.73.6, compileSdkVersion update from 34 to 35 #343
Description
Trying to update packages for my react-native cli app.
I am facing the following issues when i run ./gradlew clean command after i have upgraded all packages including react-native, react and gradle.
I have been upgrading my compileSdkVersion to 35 which was previously 34 after play store's notification.
Here's the build output and relevant file details.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Where: Build file '/Users/sowjanya.kundeti/Documents/fareye-app/FashionEyeApp/android/app/build.gradle' line: 7
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
Could not read script '/Users/sowjanya.kundeti/Documents/fareye-app/FashionEyeApp/node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_gradle_plugin.gradle' as it does not exist.

I have tried clearing cache, deleting node modules, re-building. Still it doesn't work.
