Added no code, just linked this library and started the app

What fixed this for me:

• Update your Android SDK
• Put this in the dependencies block of your android/app/build.gradle:

  compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
  }
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'

• Set these in your android/app/build.gradle:

   compileSdkVersion 23
   buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

  compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
  }
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:+'
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:+'

after tinkering with it, this one worked for me, thanks

@pocesar fix worked for me 👍🏻

Cannot get this to work with any version of play-services. I have tried every version from 8.4 to 11.4 and nothing works 100%. Sometimes I can load the map in android 7.0.0 but when I run the exact same build in 6.0.0 the app crashes as soon as I try to load the map. There are also versions which cause the build of my app to completely fail. Finally using the + sign doesn't work for any android version lower that 7.0.0.

Has anyone found a version that actually works with multiple versions of android? Or at least must be compatible with 6 and 7

I recently made a fresh example build.
https://github.com/alvelig/react-native-maps-example.
Try to check it out or build through the README.MD. If it does not help, let me know.
