Research direction

Start by reading build.gradle and inspect how the GitHub Action selects the Gradle version. Confirm which version is compatible with the existing build, pin that version, and verify that the reported baseName/archiveBaseName error no longer occurs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Ran into errors which were unexpected. baseName needed to become archiveBaseName in build.gradle ... this is because the github action just uses the latest version of gradle, and that is not pinned.
