Task 'packageDebugResources' uses this output of task 'generateDebugResValues' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency.

[RiteshSaste]

What happened?

I created new react-native project with version 0.78, and added the async-storage via, yarn add, it installed the latest 2.2.0
Auto linking did not work for me due to some libraries, so I have setup manual linking:
The issue I'm facing is the below error is persistent, I have tried adding both 'dependsOn' and 'mustRunAfter' in afterEvaluate block:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':react-native-async-storage_async-storage:packageDebugResources' (type 'MergeResources').

• Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '/Users/sandeep/Documents/MS_NewApp/mobileservice-1/node_modules/@react-native-async-storage/async-storage/android/build/generated/res/resValues/debug'.

  Reason: Task ':react-native-async-storage_async-storage:packageDebugResources' uses this output of task ':@react-native-async-storage_async-storage:generateDebugResValues' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

  Possible solutions:

  1. Declare task ':@react-native-async-storage_async-storage:generateDebugResValues' as an input of ':react-native-async-storage_async-storage:packageDebugResources'.
  2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':@react-native-async-storage_async-storage:generateDebugResValues' from ':react-native-async-storage_async-storage:packageDebugResources' using Task#dependsOn.
  3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':@react-native-async-storage_async-storage:generateDebugResValues' from ':react-native-async-storage_async-storage:packageDebugResources' using Task#mustRunAfter.

PS: Please ask for any required files and I will paste in after masking important details.
Also, I have tried to downgrade to 1.24.0 and 1.23, but the issue persists.
