I’ve just updated React Native from 0.71.11 to 0.73.7 following the instructions from the React Native upgrade helper. When I try to run ‘yarn android’, I get this error

error: android/app/src/main/java/com/useapp/MainApplication.kt:18:41 Return type of ‘getPackages’ is not a subtype of the return type of the overridden member ‘protected/protected and package/ abstract fun getPackages(): (MutableList<ReactPackage!>..kotlin.collections.List<ReactPackage!>?) defined in com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultReactNativeHost’

I’ve tried to mess with both files, but so far without success.
