1. try this solution Unable to build on Android after upgrading lottie version 3.5.0 to 4.1.3 software-mansion/react-native-reanimated#2494 (comment)
2. or you could patch android/build.gradle via patch-package or yarn patch the following way:

 afterEvaluate { project ->
 
     task androidJavadoc(type: Javadoc) {
         source = android.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs
         classpath += files(android.bootClasspath)
-        classpath += files(project.getConfigurations().getByName('compile').asList())
+        classpath += files(project.getConfigurations().getByName('customConfig').asList())
         include '**/*.java'
     }

@shaksi also please read my answer here about what this library is and why you can't just take and re-use it in own project "as is": #45 (comment)
