Description
Hi! 👋
Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂
Today I used patch-package to patch @react-native/gradle-plugin@0.83.2 for the project I'm working on.
Problem
settings.gradle.kts pins foojay-resolver-convention to version 0.5.0, which references
JvmVendorSpec.IBM_SEMERU — a constant removed in Gradle 9.0.0. Expo SDK 55 ships with
Gradle 9.0.0, so any project using Expo SDK 55 + React Native 0.83 fails to build with:
Class org.gradle.jvm.toolchain.JvmVendorSpec does not have member field
'org.gradle.jvm.toolchain.JvmVendorSpec IBM_SEMERU'
Updating to foojay-resolver-convention 1.0.0 fixes the issue — this version drops the
IBM_SEMERU reference entirely.
Environment
@react-native/gradle-plugin: 0.83.2- Gradle: 9.0.0
- Expo SDK: 55

Research direction
Start in @react-native/gradle-plugin/settings.gradle.kts and inspect the foojay-resolver-convention plugin version pinned there. Verify the change against Gradle 9.0.0 with the Expo SDK 55 and React Native 0.83 environment; done means the build no longer fails while resolving JvmVendorSpec.IBM_SEMERU.
