React Native error Unable to extract native debug metadata - Gradle 7.X +

i am facing some annoying issue. I am working in a project, where the base is kotlin with a external module in react (0.61.5). Works perfect with config: Plugin 4.0.1 & Gradle 6.6, but we implemented a new module (this module is in compose), so we had to update to gradle 7.X + and app started crashing.
Error: Unable to load script.Make sure you are either running a Metro server or that your bundle 'index.android.bundle' is packaged correctly for release & Unable to extract native debug metadata.
Current Config: Plugin 7.2.2 & Gradle 7.5.2
React: 0.61.5
Please let me know if is fixed, need help!!!!!
PS: For release build, we use a docker image, follow

Try this:
1- add classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.3') in your dependencies located in android/build.gradle
basically the gradle version is not compatible with react native on android at the time of posting this answer.
2- If that doesn't work, before doing build, run:
npx react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle
then:
cd android
./gradlew assembleRelease

GithubAction SelfHosted Runner launch error SocketException: Connection reset

We are configuring a self-hosted android runner for GithubActions, but when we run some command of gradlew, it crashes/stops sending an error connection reset.
Our docker file contains the basic for a android runner (few lines of code for gradle and sdk installation. the tools are also installed properly).
# Gradle
ENV GRADLE_VERSION 7.0.2
ENV GRADLE_HOME="/opt/gradle"
ENV GRADLE_SDK_URL https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}-bin.zip
RUN curl -sSL "${GRADLE_SDK_URL}" -o gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}-bin.zip \
&& unzip -q gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}-bin.zip -d ${GRADLE_HOME} \
&& rm -rf gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}-bin.zip \
&& chmod +775 /opt/gradle
ENV PATH ${GRADLE_HOME}/bin:$PATH
# Install Android SDK
RUN echo "SDK tools ${ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS_VERSION}" \
&& cd /opt \
&& chmod +775 . \

Then when in the workflow we do some ./gradlew command it crashes.
some example commands that crash:
> ./gradlew --version
> ./gradlew app:assembleBetaRelease --offline
Always same Error log:
Run ./gradlew --version

It seems that tries to download Gradle, but it exist previously in dockerfile.
Did we forget some configuration in dockerfile or something similar?

Docker: Operation not permitted on workspace directory android

I am trying to set up a CI/CD pipeline for my android project using Jenkins and docker(I'm using docker file) and here's a sample of the Jenkinsfile
pipeline {
agent { dockerfile true }
environment {
appName = 'Yoruba Proverbs'
KEY_PASSWORD = credentials('keyPassword')
KEY_ALIAS = credentials('keyAlias')
KEYSTORE = credentials('keystore')
STORE_PASSWORD = credentials('storePassword')
}
stages {
....
}
}
The build fails at the instance when docker is trying to make a modification under the workspace directory with an operation not permitted error(FileSystemException). Here's a screenshot: build
I have tried a few different tweaks like restarting Jenkins, restarting docker, Granting docker full disk access on my laptop but no positive result
Edit:
This is the content of the Dockerfile

But when I am building this, then Sending build context to Docker daemon is getting larger from 250GB and still increasing, Is this normal, or I am doing something wrong, please suggest, thanks in advance
I have taken reference from this link https://hub.docker.com/r/javiersantos/android-ci

The build context is not inside your Dockerfile, it's the path passed at the end of the build command, often a . to indicate the current directory. When building with compose it defaults to the current directory. So if this is growing, you have files in that context directory that are growing between builds.
With buildkit, this behavior changes, only sending the requested files rather than the full context. You can enable that by running export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 in the shell that runs the docker build command. You can also default this feature to enabled by setting the following in /etc/docker/daemon.json and then reloading the docker engine (often systemctl reload docker):
{
"features": {"buildkit": true }
}
Considering your build only adds a single file, probably the best option is to configure a .dockerignore in the root of your context (the same folder with the packages.txt file) with the following:
*
!packages.txt
The * ignores everything, and the !packages.txt reincludes that file back into the context.

How to resolve: Error: spawnSync ./gradlew ENOBUFS

so im trying to build my app on release mode with Docker.
When I run it on my machine it works with no problem but when I run it on docker I get this error:
Error: spawnSync ./gradlew ENOBUFS

when I try to build with develop im getting no problems...
another thing I put attention about is when I build my app on docker with ./gradlew installRelease I get no issue but this command never use Jetifier which I really need for my build.
Im attaching my docker file, let me know if you need more files:
