Unable to use config in the android/build.gradle file

[lpatrun]

Hello, I am implementing this lib and for my project, I also have to use it in android/build.gradle. I have tried the solution from issue #674 but first I got this error:

Could not find method android() for arguments [dotenv_5v1ei16f50d47056n9s7kjkve$_run_closure1@6a407e85] on root project 'AvarTtoGO' of type org.gradle.api.Project

Then I added:

apply plugin: "com.android.application"

and got:

com.android.builder.errors.EvalIssueException: compileSdkVersion is not specified. Please add it to build.gradle

And after I add

android {
    compileSdkVersion = 33
}

I get

Android tasks have already been created. This happens when calling android.applicationVariants, android.libraryVariants or android.testVariants. Once these methods are called, it is not possible to continue configuring the model.

I would appreciate help.

android/build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
apply plugin: "com.android.application"
apply from: project(':react-native-config').projectDir.getPath() + "/dotenv.gradle"

android {
    compileSdkVersion = 33
}

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
        minSdkVersion = 22
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
        ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529"
        androidXCore = "1.7.0"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.1")
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.14'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.9.1'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        exclusiveContent {
            filter {
                 includeGroup "com.facebook.react"
            }
            forRepository {
                 maven {
                    url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
                 }
            }
        } 
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }

        if (project.env.get("APP_CONFIG") == "development") {
            maven {

            }
        }
    }
}

You need to add apply from: project(':react-native-config').projectDir.getPath() + "/dotenv.gradle" in android/app/build.gradle not the root android/build.gradle.
