Answer 1

the problem is not in your project, the resource with the boost library is not available
https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2

Answer 2

If your kotlin version is "1.7.20"
Downgrading it to "1.6.0" in android/build.gradle helps
example : kotlin_version = "1.6.0"
