The @config-plugins/react-native-webrtc package at version 8.0.0 is incompatible with Expo SDK v51. The issue arises because the Android Gradle used in Expo SDK v51 doesn't support the android.enableDexingArtifactTransform.desugaring setting used in the package at this version. This causes the build to fail. Commenting out this setting in the package allows the project to build, but it leads to downstream issues—specifically, the app crashes when trying to use the voice assistant on Android.
