I’m encountering an error when trying to launch my React Native CLI app on an Android emulator using the commands npm start followed by npm run android. The error message I’m seeing is as follows:

(node:9880) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please 
use a userland alternative instead.

running npx react-native doctor. To read more about doctor command visit:

It appears that the error is related to Kotlin, but I intend to use Java for my React Native project. Strangely, I see a folder called C:Projectsapp-enel1AwesomeProjectandroid.gradlekotlin, which suggests Kotlin is being used. However, my backend will be developed in Java. Can someone help me understand what’s happening and how I can resolve this error? How can I confirm whether my React Native project is configured to use Kotlin or Java?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
