Title: templateAndroid.app_build_gradle Configuration Not Applied to /app/build.gradle

---

Description

I’m encountering an issue where configurations defined under the templateAndroid.app_build_gradle section of renative.json are not being applied to the generated /app/build.gradle file during the rnv configure process. This specifically affects the apply key within app_build_gradle, which is intended to add Gradle plugin applications.

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Define the following configuration in renative.json under the templateAndroid section for an appConfig:

   {
     "platforms": {
       "androidtv": {
         "templateAndroid": {
           "app_build_gradle": {
             "apply": ["apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'"]
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }

2. Run the following command to configure the project:

   rnv configure -p androidtv

3. Inspect the generated /platformBuilds/androidtv/app/build.gradle file.

---

Expected Behavior

The /app/build.gradle file should include the following line at the top:

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

---

Actual Behavior

The /app/build.gradle file does not contain the apply plugin line, and the configuration under app_build_gradle is ignored. Other parts of templateAndroid, such as buildscript.dependencies, work correctly.

---

Environment

• ReNative Version: 1.0.0
• Node.js Version: 18.20
• OS: macOS 15.0
• Platform: AndroidTV

Request

I would like to know:

1. If the templateAndroid.app_build_gradle key is fully supported in the current version.
2. If there are additional steps or configurations needed to enable this feature.
3. If this is a bug
