This is an issue that happens after upgrading to Expo SDK 54+. The maven.notifee.app repo is offline, so Gradle falls back to scanning JitPack — which doesn't host
app.notifee and just times out.

The good news: @notifee/react-native already ships the artifact locally at node_modules/@notifee/react-native/android/libs/. You just need to tell Gradle to
resolve from there exclusively.

The fix: Create an Expo Config Plugin that uses Gradle's exclusiveContent directive to restrict app.notifee resolution to the local libs directory only — zero
network calls, no JitPack scanning.

I hit this exact issue, went through 5 failed builds trying different approaches (adding maven URLs, forcing versions, reordering JitPack), and documented the
full solution here:

I don't use expo, but adding this to android/build.gradle solve the issue

// issue: https://github.com/callstack/react-native-bottom-tabs/issues/490
allprojects {
    repositories {
        exclusiveContent {
            forRepository {
                maven {
                    url "$rootDir/../node_modules/@notifee/react-native/android/libs"
                }
            }
            filter {
                includeGroup "app.notifee"
            }
        }

        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
    }
}
