Sentry.init()

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://...@sentry.io/...',

  // Adds more context data to events (IP address, cookies, user, etc.)
  // For more information, visit: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/data-management/data-collected/
  sendDefaultPii: true,

  // Configure Session Replay

});

Steps to Reproduce

1. create an empty react-native 0.82.0-rc.4 project with gradle 9.0.0 (bare project, not using expo), and the project can successfully build

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-9.0.0-bin.zip

2. then setup sentry (@sentry/react-native 7.1.0), the build failed
3. downgrade to gradle 8.14.3 ,the project can successfully build now

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.14.3-bin.zip

Expected Result

build success

Actual Result

build failed with this error: Could not find method exec() for arguments

It seems to be caused here:

sentry-react-native/packages/core/sentry.gradle

Lines 125 to 134 in 9743a29

	def osCompatibilityCopyCommand = Os.isFamily(Os.FAMILY_WINDOWS) ? ['cmd', '/c'] : []

Hello @coder-xiaomo!
I've tried setting it up, and it worked without any major issues. Here is the sample repository you can use as a reference: https://github.com/alwx/example-sentry-rn-0.82
Could you please let me know if it builds for you?
