I think the issue is very clear.

Build file '/Users/ssule/Documents/ReactNativeApps/resolve/mobile-app/android/app/build.gradle' line: 2

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Could not find method aaply() for arguments

There is a typo in build.gradle’ line: 2 - aaply plugon should be changed to apply plugin
