Fail to build App due to Kotlin version

[bombillazo]

Hello! First I want to say this is an excellent idea to build, thanks for sharing and making it available.

I'm having trouble though building my app on Android. I use Expo and during the Android app build, the Gradle build process fails with the following message:

Class 'kotlin.Unit' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.1.15.
The class is loaded from /Users/user/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/2a80405be8e7ee490f549039c21797fc/transformed/jetified-kotlin-stdlib-1.6.10.jar!/kotlin/Unit.class

Im using react-native-avoid-softinput version: ^2.4.6. Is there any specific setting I should set in order to install this library?

So the issue was that the default kotlin version set in this package (AvoidSoftinput_kotlinVersion=1.3.50) was not being overridden and version 1.3.50 was causing problems with my project version. Changing the version to 1.6.10 in the package source fixed the problem.
