Could not get unknown property 'mergeResourcesProvider' when running on Android

[theodorusyoga]

Steps to reproduce:
I got this error while running on Android: yarn android (react-native run-android).

Where:
Script '/Users/theoyoga/Documents/react-native-elements-storybook/node_modules/react-native/react.gradle' line: 95
What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not get unknown property 'mergeResourcesProvider' for object of type com.android.build.gradle.internal.api.ApplicationVariantImpl.

Temporary solution:
I found the issue and a quick workaround from this link: facebook/react-native/24022#474717616. I solved it by upgrading gradle version and SDK versions, etc in android/build.gradle.

@haruelrovix I also submitted a PR related to this error. Please take a look.

Thanks.

@haruelrovix Hmm never mind, it turned out I got stuck with the old version of master. I don't know why I still had the old version that was 6 months old :(

Closing this issue.

@theodorusyoga 😄

When working on forked repo, make sure to pull the upstream first.

git pull upstream master

@haruelrovix sure 😄 realized I forgot to add upstream on my forked repo. Will look into that issue
