React native firebase - android not able to build

Question

For some reason I am unable to build my project. Yesterday everything worked fine, looking at https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#update_-_april_02_2019 there is a critical update from 5/11/21.

I tried to change the minSdkVersion as suggested but still no resolution.

This is the error:

error Failed to install the app. Make sure you have the Android development environment set up: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup.
Error: Command failed: gradlew.bat app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081

just add the following under android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
    .....
    firebaseMessagingVersion = "21.1.0"
}
