example/android project: init.gradle not executing prior to sync

[smith-xyz]

I'm running into an issue currently where the example/android project doesn't seem to run my init.gradle that is in my user/.gradle

The init file will run at the top level android project in this template. But for some reason in the example it won't execute it prior to build. This has our private repository configured in it.

Is there anything I'm missing that would prevent gradle from executing this prior to the build?

details:

react-native: "0.76.3"
react-native-builder-bob: "^0.33.3"

android sync failed:

Exception is:
org.gradle.api.plugins. UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver-convention', version: '0.5.0'] was not found in any of the following resources:

inspecting it further, I don't see any requests made to our private repository.

Apologies for lack of details, have to translate from my work laptop to personal.

This helped me get on the right track. The other projects I mentioned were using react-native < v75. It appears there were some changes to the structuring of the modules.

Was able to track along from this solution and essentially write in the repository to use into the react-native/gradle-plugin and now example project is pulling only from our private repository.

Hope this helps anyone else in case you were stuck on this like I was 😄
