Unable to find keys.*.json path

Current behavior

It's unable to find the keys.development.json

I have this set into app/build.gradle

project.ext.keyFiles = [
 debug: "keys.development.json",
//  staging: "keys.staging.json",
//  release: "$rootDir/../keys.release.json",
]

apply from: project(':react-native-keys').projectDir.getPath() + "/RNKeys.gradle"

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-keys'.
> react-native-keys: unable to locate React Native android sources. Ensure you have you installed React Native as a dependency in your project and try again.

keys.development.json is at the same level as package.json

Expected behavior

To recognize the keys files.

Platform

• Android

React Native Version

0.80.0

React Native Compressor Version

Reproducible Steps And Demo

1- Install rn-keys
2- Setup based on description above
3- Run android

As for the second error.

> react-native-keys: unable to locate React Native android sources. Ensure you have you installed React Native as a dependency in your project and try again.

It might be due to react-native/android path not being available anymore. But it's react-native/ReactAndroid instead.
