I installed the plugin in a fresh project on OSX. Versions:

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.52.0
Android Studio: 3.0.1

My package.json looks like this:

{
  "name": "AppName",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",

  },
  "dependencies": {

    "react-native": "0.52.0",
    "react-native-svg": "^6.0.1-rc.3",
    "react-native-vector-icons": "^4.5.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-jest": "22.1.0",
    "babel-preset-react-native": "4.0.0",

    "react-test-renderer": "16.2.0"
  },
  "jest": {
    "preset": "react-native"
  }
}

Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Can you check that you have google() in both of these?

jskidd3 · 2018-01-21T16:22:03Z

~~@msand Sorry for the newbie question but where do I find those within the project?~~
Oh do you mean install that plugin and check for google()?

msand · 2018-01-21T16:25:36Z

No worries. You can find it in appName/android/app/build.gradle where appName is the root of your project.

msand · 2018-01-21T16:26:08Z

Oh sorry, appName/android/build.gradle is the one with the top-level repository configuration for all sub-projects/modules in the project. The one in the app folder is app specific.

jskidd3 · 2018-01-21T16:28:07Z

@msand Here's what that file looks like:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
    }
}

msand · 2018-01-21T16:29:12Z

Try changing to this:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        google()
    }
}

jskidd3 · 2018-01-21T16:30:48Z

@msand That gives me this:

Can you try cleaning and rebuilding the project? Preferably in android studio, as it gives better error messages and helpful automation for these things.

@msand Still getting errors so going to create a new project and start and build from Android Studio to see if it resolves. Just to confirm I should be using version v6.0.1-rc.2 right?

msand · 2018-01-21T16:56:59Z

The last changes, the ones in the app specific build.gradle are for rc-3, everything else should work fine with rc-2 as well.

jskidd3 · 2018-01-21T17:03:56Z

@msand Sorted by installing rc-3 and following instructions again, built successfully after following steps here. Many thanks for your help

jskidd3 · 2018-01-21T18:45:25Z

@msand Created a separate issue at #585. Couldn't continue with these hacks as conflicted with other plugins so started a fresh and reverted to last major version

laurindo · 2018-01-25T04:12:23Z

I had the same problem and I've resolved change the version of my "react-native-svg": "^6.0.1-rc.1" to "react-native-svg": "6.0.1-rc.1" and run again npm install .

My react-native-svg module had the version: [Error]

msand · 2018-01-25T08:37:46Z

@laurindo Did you try making the required changes to these three files? #583 (comment)

derekbar90 · 2018-01-25T20:00:05Z

Thanks for solving this but doesn't updating the API to 25-27 make the apps using this module limited to supporting only 5% of the android market?

msand · 2018-01-25T22:34:51Z

It should mostly make it so that newer android version don't need to run in backwards compatibility mode. The minSdkVersion 16 set the minimum sdk support level and decided how old versions it works with.

https://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/platforms.html#sdk-versions

To maintain your application along with each Android release, you should increase the value of this attribute to match the latest API level, then thoroughly test your application on the corresponding platform version.
