Reproducible Demo

my sample code is above.

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.57 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "⏪Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running react-native info on a project using the latest release.

@smemamian this is not a react native issue; your Android app project can't find a native dependency; Try looking around on Stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50563407/could-not-find-play-services-basement-aar or post this on the rnfirebase.io .

A vanilla RN project only has these dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
}

@kelset close :)
