Fix for resources not correctly bundlded on release appbundles (#35872)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/35872

When downgrading from AGP 7.4 to 7.3 we were forced to resort to older APIs
to bundle resources. It seems like we haven't properly wired the task to make sure
resources generated by Metro are correctly accounted before the generation of
release app bundles/apks.

This fixes it. This fix can also be removed once we are on AGP 7.4
Fixes #35865

[Android] [Fixed] - Fix for resources not correctly bundlded on release appbundles
