React Native Android build failure with different errors without any changes in code for past days due to publish of React Native version 0.71.0-rc.0

I have a react native app that was able to build without any problems, however today while trying to start the app on an emulator I got the following error:
my_local_path_to_node_modules\node_modules@react-native-community\netinfo\android\src\main\java\com\reactnativecommunity\netinfo\BroadcastReceiverConnectivityReceiver.java:16: error: package com.facebook.react.bridge does not exist
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext;
I've tried removing the entire node_modules folder and re-installing everything from the package.json, cleaning and building with gradle but to no avail.
Here's my package.json

import com.android.build.OutputFile
* The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
* and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
* These basically call `react-native bundle` with the correct arguments during the Android build
* cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
* bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
* and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
* `apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"` line.
* project.ext.react = [
* // the name of the generated asset file containing your JS bundle
* bundleAssetName: "index.android.bundle",
* // the entry file for bundle generation
* entryFile: "index.android.js",
* // https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/performance#enable-the-ram-format
* bundleCommand: "ram-bundle",
* // whether to bundle JS and assets in debug mode
* bundleInDebug: false,
* // whether to bundle JS and assets in release mode
* bundleInRelease: true,
* // whether to bundle JS and assets in another build variant (if configured).
* // See http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Build-Variants
* // The configuration property can be in the following formats
* // 'bundleIn${productFlavor}${buildType}'
* // 'bundleIn${buildType}'
* // bundleInFreeDebug: true,
* // bundleInPaidRelease: true,
* // bundleInBeta: true,
* // whether to disable dev mode in custom build variants (by default only disabled in release)
* // for example: to disable dev mode in the staging build type (if configured)
* devDisabledInStaging: true,
* // The configuration property can be in the following formats
* // 'devDisabledIn${productFlavor}${buildType}'
* // 'devDisabledIn${buildType}'
* // the root of your project, i.e. where "package.json" lives
* root: "../../",
* // where to put the JS bundle asset in debug mode
* jsBundleDirDebug: "$buildDir/intermediates/assets/debug",
* // where to put the JS bundle asset in release mode
* jsBundleDirRelease: "$buildDir/intermediates/assets/release",
* // where to put drawable resources / React Native assets, e.g. the ones you use via
* // require('./image.png')), in debug mode
* resourcesDirDebug: "$buildDir/intermediates/res/merged/debug",
* // where to put drawable resources / React Native assets, e.g. the ones you use via
* // require('./image.png')), in release mode
* resourcesDirRelease: "$buildDir/intermediates/res/merged/release",
* // by default the gradle tasks are skipped if none of the JS files or assets change; this means
* // that we don't look at files in android/ or ios/ to determine whether the tasks are up to
* // date; if you have any other folders that you want to ignore for performance reasons (gradle
* // indexes the entire tree), add them here. Alternatively, if you have JS files in android/
* // for example, you might want to remove it from here.
* inputExcludes: ["android/**", "ios/**"],
* // override which node gets called and with what additional arguments
* nodeExecutableAndArgs: ["node"],
* // supply additional arguments to the packager
* extraPackagerArgs: []
project.ext.react = [
entryFile: "index.js",
enableHermes: false, // clean and rebuild if changing
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
* Set this to true to create two separate APKs instead of one:
* - An APK that only works on ARM devices
* - An APK that only works on x86 devices
* The advantage is the size of the APK is reduced by about 4MB.
* Upload all the APKs to the Play Store and people will download
* the correct one based on the CPU architecture of their device.
def enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture = false
* Run Proguard to shrink the Java bytecode in release builds.
def enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = false
* The preferred build flavor of JavaScriptCore.
* For example, to use the international variant, you can use:
* `def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc-intl:+'`
* The international variant includes ICU i18n library and necessary data
* allowing to use e.g. `Date.toLocaleString` and `String.localeCompare` that
* give correct results when using with locales other than en-US. Note that
* this variant is about 6MiB larger per architecture than default.
def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc:+'
* Whether to enable the Hermes VM.
* This should be set on project.ext.react and mirrored here. If it is not set
* on project.ext.react, JavaScript will not be compiled to Hermes Bytecode
* and the benefits of using Hermes will therefore be sharply reduced.

Any ideas? I'm completely lost. Even another similar project that I haven't touched in months is having the same issue.

Add the following lines in android/build.gradle
def REACT_NATIVE_VERSION = new File(['node', '--print',"JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(require.resolve('react-native/package.json'), 'utf-8')).version"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim())
allprojects {
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force "com.facebook.react:react-native:" + REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
