Steps to reproduce

first error " The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.1, expected version is 1.1.16"

so
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "29.0.2"
minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 29
targetSdkVersion = 29
androidXCore = "1.6.0"
kotlinVersion = "1.6.0" // new add
}

And then started reporting errors,
“ > Android resource linking failed
/Users/revival/.gradle/caches/transforms-2/files-2.1/9c6c81038e4c01dabde31d5d71d4bfd8/core-1.7.0/res/values/values.xml:105:5-114:25: AAPT: error: resource android:attr/lStar not found.”

According to issues/35210，update RN version 0.63.2---->0.63.5
But it didn't work

Maybe you just need: ./gradlew app:assembleRelease instead of the ./gradlew assembleRelease
