Nativescript 8.6 build error while building for Android

Issue Description

After upgrading my project from 6.x to 8.x I can no longer build for Android. I get the following error:

Build file '/Users/user/Documents/project/platforms/android/app/build.gradle' line: 589
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
entry

Command ./gradlew failed with exit code 1

the offending line is this:

// Discover all jars and dynamically create tasks for the extraction of each of them
project.ext.allJars = []
allprojects {
    afterEvaluate { project ->
        def buildType = project.selectedBuildType
        def jars = []
        def artifactType = Attribute.of('artifactType', String)
        android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
            if (variant.buildType.name == buildType) {
                variant.getCompileClasspath().each { fileDependency ->  // THIS IS IT
                    processJar(fileDependency, jars)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Here is my package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "prepare-ios": "ns clean; ns prepare ios --release",
    "postinstall": "cp patches/firebase/firebase-release.aar node_modules/@nativescript/firebase/platforms/android"

    "@types/node": "^20.11.16",
    "typescript": "~5.3.2"
  },
  "gitHead": "",
  "readme": "NativeScript Application"
}

Here is the output from ns doctor:

I have been stuck on this for 2 days. Tried cleaning the project, playing around with different adnroid build tool versions, etc. Nothing had worked so far.

Any ideas on what is going on?
