Android Studio Warning!: Space-assignment syntax in Groovy DSL has been deprecated!

What happened?

Problem

Problem occured while syncing gradle at Android Studio Ladybug version.

Version

Android gradle plugin: 8.7.0
Gradle: 8.12

Description

Android Studio gives me warning about updating the gradle file because usage at line 98 is deprecated and used like below
project_root/node_modules/@react-native-async-storage/async-storage/android/build.gradle

old usage

...
        url "${project.ext.resolveModulePath("react-native")}/android" // line 98
...

new usage

...
        url = "${project.ext.resolveModulePath("react-native")}/android" // line 98
...

Why?

Because 'these generated methods are now deprecated and will be removed in Gradle 10.0, and both propertyName value and propertyName(value) will stop working unless the explicit method propertyName is defined. Use explicit assignment propertyName = value instead.'
