React Native Android build fails from lottie-react-native module - react-native

Question

I'm trying to build a React Native Android project in Android Studio that uses the lottie-react-native package installed through npm. Upon attempting a build, I receive the following exception:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':lottie-react-native:processReleaseResources'.

Here is the android/build.grade file:

def abi = output.getFilter(OutputFile.ABI)
if (abi != null) { // null for the universal-debug, universal-release variants
output.versionCodeOverride =

}
}
}
}

}
Why is the build failing, and how can it be fixed?
