Problem wit react-native-selectable-text package

Question

I am trying to use react-native-selectable-text in my react native project. but when I build the project on android emulator it fails and this message appears

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong: Could not determine the dependencies of task ':react-native-selectable-text:bundleLibCompileToJarDebug'. > Could not create task ':react-native-selectable-text:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. > In order to compile Java 9+ source, please set compileSdkVersion to 30 or above

Can any body tell me how can I solve this problem please?

I did the steps of adding package according to the instructions in documantation but as I using kotlin instead of java When adding RNSelectableTextPackage() to the list returned by getPackages function in MainActivity.kt I couldn't find the getPackages function so I added this lines to the 'MainActivity' class

override fun getPackages(): List<ReactPackage> = PackageList(this).packages.apply { new RNSelectableTextPackage() }

I tried this by both "add" and "new", but none of them worked.

I found the solution at this answer

by adding the code below to buildscripts section in build.gradle file:

subprojects { subproject ->
afterEvaluate{
    if((subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android') || subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android-library'))) {
        android {
            compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
            buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
        }
    }
}

}
