after upgrading gradle version to 8.2.2 I'm getting this error: Setting the namespace via the package attribute in the source AndroidManifest.xml is no longer supported.

Have you solved that? Experience the same

I created a patch file to fix the issue.

Instructions:

1. Create a new patch file to your project's patches/ directory react-native-background-timer+2.4.1.patch (note: replace the 2.4.1 version that is in the filename with the version you are using).
2. Copy paste the below snippet into the file and run yarn install / npm install
3. Rebuild the android app

Alternatively you can modify the node_modules/react-native-background-timer/android/build.gradle file manually and create the patch package by yourself. See https://github.com/ds300/patch-package#readme for more help.

Snippet:

diff --git a/node_modules/react-native-background-timer/android/build.gradle b/node_modules/react-native-background-timer/android/build.gradle

Hopefully this is helpful!
