Compilation error with gradle 7 and react native latest version 0.69

[Uma19]

After upgrading my project android to latest version of gradle 7 , this package is throwing following error

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-static-server'.
  > Plugin with id 'maven' not found.

As of Gradle and Andriod team, gradle 7 onwards will support maven-pulbish plugin
So is there any plan to fix the above project ?

We are able to solve temporary by replacing the content of node_modules/react-native-static-server/build.gradle to:

But we are now looking to remove this library from our project.

Today this library is used in the project to display HTML pages in WebView, we are moving towards removing this architecture and starting to use only native screens.

Is anyone working on this issue? RN based apps that use this package cannot be upgraded to the latest RN version. If this package is not maintained any more, could someone share a good replacement for this package? Thanks
