I also got into some problems with the react-native-appearence package. If you use expo you shouldn't have this problem or just update the package to version 0.3.4.
If you use use the react-native-cli the only option for you is to downgrade your react-native to a version which is using Gradle 6. You can find more information here about this issue.
