Need help - Build Failure: java.util.zip.ZipException: zip END header not found in React Native Project

Hi React Native Community,

I’m encountering a build failure in my React Native project, and I’m hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this issue. The project was working fine yesterday, but today, when I tried to clean the project using ./gradlew clean, I ran into the following error:

**FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.

1: Task failed with an exception.

• Where:
  Settings file '/home/Myprojectupgraded/MobileAppNew/Myproject/android/settings.gradle' line: 2

• What went wrong:
  Error resolving plugin [id: 'com.facebook.react.settings']

  A problem occurred configuring project ':gradle-plugin:react-native-gradle-plugin'.
  java.util.zip.ZipException: zip END header not found

• Try:

  Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.

What I’ve Tried So Far:
Clearing Gradle Cache: I tried deleting the .gradle folder in my home directory and rebuilding the project, but the issue persists.

Reinstalling Dependencies: I ran npm install and ./gradlew clean again, but the error remains.

Checking Network Connection: I ensured that my internet connection is stable, as sometimes network issues can cause problems with downloading dependencies.

Updating Gradle and Plugins: I checked if there were any updates to Gradle or the React Native Gradle plugin, but everything seems up to date.

Environment:
React Native Version: 0.75.3

Gradle Version: 8.8

Operating System: linux

I follow this steps to solve android gradle issue

• Install the library "@react-native/gradle-plugin"
• In gradle.properties file replace "MaxPermSize" with "MaxMetaspaceSize"
• In gradle-wrapper.properities file Upgrade to gradle zip 8.9 distributionUrl=services.gradle.org/distributions/...
• After completing above steps, just do the gradle clean and re run the app.
