React Native Upgrade 0.76.6 to 0.77 - Build Fails with Kotlin Compilation Errors

[mickyfazler]

After upgrading React Native from version 0.76.6 to 0.77, my Android build fails with Kotlin compilation errors. The errors appear to originate from dependencies react-native-menu_menu and @shopify/flash-list.

To Reproduce:

1. Upgrade React Native to 0.77
2. Run npx react-native run-android

Expected behavior:

The Android app should build and install successfully.

Im also having this issue. any walkaround at the moment?

It seems the React Native team updated the onInterceptTouchEvent method declaration in class ReactViewGroup here.

Here is the patch that should fix the problem.
@react-native-menu+menu+1.2.1.patch

There is a PR #1022 for this issue and it has been merged.
