Thanks for posting this! It looks like your issue may be missing some necessary information. Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

Thank you for your contributions.

same here.
Yesterday I could build my project, but today morning suddenly it failed.
I did not change my code at all.

Maybe It related to new release of Google Play services 12.0.0 (released at March 20, 2018)

the same happened to me but with cordova, without having made any modification to my code

Is the error coming up for a specific module? In mine I had the react-native-camera library using this in its own build.gradle, (under Gradle Scripts in Android Studio)

dependencies {
  ....
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:+'
  ....
}

Which was causing it to use the latest unsupported version, bringing up this issue.
Just change that line to compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:11.6.0'
or the most recent compatible version for you.

I suffered the same problem. It's OK last afternoon, but build error this morning.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':react-native-device-info:processReleaseResources'.

Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms.license'

My environment as below:
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.44.3
npm: 5.5.1
OS : Windows 10

This is what you want to look for

Change that + to 11.6.0 in node_modules/react-native-device-info/android/build.gradle

As a temporary fix of course

There is a relevant issue you can refer to.

I am facing the same issue

Environment:
OS: Linux 4.13
Node: 6.11.4
Yarn: Not Found
npm: 3.10.10
Watchman: Not Found
Xcode: N/A
Android Studio: Not Found

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: 16.3.0-alpha.2 => 16.3.0-alpha.2
react-native: 0.54.2 => 0.54.2

On the other hand I have a very similar project (it is basically the same one) but with react-native 0.48.4 and in that case it is working fine.

I just fixed by adding the below line in gradle.properties

googlePlayServicesVersion=11.6.0 .

[ColdDay]

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:11.8.0'
11.8.0 is OK
