Can't run react-native run-android? - react-native

Question

I'v followed the steps from https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup. I can start the phone emulator from AVD Manager in Android Studio and I can run react-native start without problems. When i enter in another terminal react-native run-android I get the following error:

And if I run react-native info I get:

Looks like an issue with gradle version.
Do these.
remove android/.gradle folder.
open /android in android studio
goto File->Project Structure->Project and change Gradle Version to more recent one. and wait for it to complete gralde sync task.
run react-native run-android after this.
