Project with path ':app' could not be found in project ':notifee_react-native'

followed the instructions here: https://notifee.app/react-native/docs/installation.

Looks like I got this package.json file

{
  "name": "MyReactNativeApp",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "yarn react-native start"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@notifee/react-native": "^4.0.1",
    "react": "17.0.2",
    "react-native": "^0.66.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/jest": "^27.4.0",
    "@types/react": "^17.0.38",
    "@types/react-native": "^0.66.11",
    "@types/react-test-renderer": "^17.0.1",
    "typescript": "^4.5.4"
  }
}

But my android code does not compile with the error in the subject. Further evaluation also indicates that indeed under node_modules/@notifee/react-native/android directory I got libs and src directory. I see an app directory under libs.

As a result, npx react-native run-android command fails during the compile stage with the error Project with path ':app' could not be found in project ':notifee_react-native'.
