The error says:

error: cannot access PermissionAwareActivity
public final class MainActivity extends androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity implements org.jitsi.meet.sdk.JitsiMeetActivityInterface
class file for com.facebook.react.modules.core.PermissionAwareActivity not found

At the same time, I can’t see core react-native dependency in the Gradle dependency tree. If I add it manually to libs, the compile-time error disappears, but runtime crashes with: Didn't find class "com.facebook.jni.HybridData$Destructor" on path: DexPathList.

Custom build dependency is declared as: implementation ("org.jitsi.react:jitsi-meet-sdk:99.0.0") { transitive = true }

Any ideas about what could be the problem? Thank you for a great project.
