Installing realm on RN 0.74.1 does not compile the app as it adds RN 0.75.2 and gradle version 8.7

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

I have been trying to install realm on my react-native app. After intalling the app asks for gradle version 8.7. When I check the app it adds RN 0.75.2 because I think somewhere there is a condition which says > 0.68.

I tried upgrading my entire project to 0.75.2 but then it does not compile. The build process gets stuck at app.

Stacktrace & log output

* Where:
Build file 'F:\pp\Shary\Shery\android\app\build.gradle' line: 1

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.version-check'.
   > Minimum supported Gradle version is 8.7. Current version is 8.6. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in F:\pp\Shary\Shery\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-8.7-all.zip

you can try:
android > settings.gradle
pluginManagement { includeBuild("../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin") }
plugins { id("com.facebook.react.settings") }
extensions.configure(com.facebook.react.ReactSettingsExtension){ ex -> ex.autolinkLibrariesFromCommand() }
