What Gradle version and Android SDK are you using for build?

3

App.setPreference(‘android-minSdkVersion’, ‘16’);

App.setPreference(‘android-targetSdkVersion’, ‘28’);

gradle-5.4.1-all

Can you please let us know where i am wrong?

Does your android/build.gradle look anything close to this?
You can raise your minimum sdk the minimum version to 21 (Android 5) unless you still build for very old devices (which anyway don’t support TLS1.1 so they don’t do much anymore).
I’d also suggest to use gradle 4.10 instead.
‘defaultBuildToolsVersion’ has to be latest or close to latest version.
