react-native-webrtc: The app crashes on Android on start

I installed the package and linked it to React Native following the instructions in this guide and built the release version using this command: ./gradlew assembleRelease

Then I took the .apk file and installed it on my device. The app never starts and crashes every time I open it. I made a new app from scratch and didn’t even put any code in it but followed the same installation instructions and built it and I got the same problem.

I tested the new app after doing the first 2 steps and it didn’t crash but after adding the last 3 steps, the problem happened again!

Edit your app/build.gradle file and adjust it so it looks this this section: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/b8a70379598c5480b40f2d2ac2131721781d4661/android/app/build.gradle#L24-L36
