Error on executing ./gradlew assemblerelease with react-native-masked-view

[RafikMk]

Problem Description:
I am encountering an issue when running the ./gradlew assemblerelease command in a project using react-native-skeleton-placeholder. The project runs fine when executing yarn android, and the Skeleton component displays without any issues. However, when creating a release build, I encounter errors related to Android resources.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run yarn android - the project functions without error.
2. Run ./gradlew assemblerelease to create a release build.
3. The following error occurs at this stage.

Error Message:

Execution failed for task ':react-native-masked-view_masked-view:verifyReleaseResources'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade
   > 1 exception was raised by workers:

React Native Version: 0.64.4
react-native-skeleton-placeholder Version: 5.2.4
Platform: Android
Operating System: macOS

hi @RafikMk
sorry the long delay.

this is weird for me because I was using exactly the version 0.64.4 in January 2024 and I had no issues to build android with assemblerelease command.

now I did upgrade RN version to 0.72 and also there is no issue

I'll try to create a new project using the version you are facing the issue and I'll try to replicate it
