Resolution Note:
Unfortunately this is not something we can fix, to upgrade Gradle and associated dependencies on 2021.3 would require significant refactoring and our policy states that LTS releases are to not have large or breaking changes. There exists a workaround that involves exporting to Android studio, and we could not reproduce the empty project build issues internally.
