Getting a Kotlin type error when building for Android

[cmclaverty-ccea]

I have a project that suddenly started throwing the following error when building for android.

e: .../app/node_modules/react-native-video/android/src/main/java/com/brentvatne/common/api/SideLoadedTextTrackList.kt:21:46 Initializer type mismatch: expected 'ReadableMap', actual 'ReadableMap?'.
e: .../app/node_modules/react-native-video/android/src/main/java/com/brentvatne/common/api/SideLoadedTextTrackList.kt:21:46 Type mismatch: inferred type is 'ReadableMap?', but 'ReadableMap' was expected.

I've not changed anything in the project since I was last able to do a release build and this seems to have come from nowhere.
I'm assuming maybe something on my machine has updated in the background but nothing comes to mind.

I'm using react-native-video@6.0.0. Downgrading isn't compartible with some of my other dependencies and upgrading returns the same or more type errors.

Buildscript settings are as follows:

buildToolsVersion = "36.0.0"
minSdkVersion = 24
compileSdkVersion = 36
targetSdkVersion = 36
ndkVersion = "25.1.8937393"
kotlinVersion = "1.8.0"

I've done ./gradlew clean and re-installed the node_modules folder a number of times.

Has anyone came across anything similar? And help would would be approiciated
