NoClassDefFound React Native Library Install Android

Question

I am trying to install https://github.com/theopolisme/react-native-stripe-terminal on a fresh react native init project. When I try to initialize the library I get the following runtime error.

Error: Exception in HostObject::get for prop 'RNStripeTerminal': java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.reactnative_stripeterminal.Constants, js engine: hermes

From my research it seems that package is not install properly. But I've tried both Auto Linking and manual installation with the same error. It doesn't seem like this library is very well maintained, but it could also be user error. I'm using react 67.4 and Java 11 on a Macbook M1. Current manual installation below.
