Steps to Reproduce

1. react-native init Project
2. yarn add react-native-navigation

I'm getting the same error.

[tibbus]

same here, happens when I try to upgrade my app to React Native version: 0.59.0-rc.2 , cannot reproduce with a new/clean project.

[kimbui87]

I'm using 0.59.0-rc.3

and solved by these steps:

• In gradle-wrapper.properties
  change distributionUrl to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip
• and in root build.gradle file change gradle classpath to this: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
• Copy file 'metro.config.js' in 0.59-stable/template to your project.
• Remove node_modules, yarn install, and run-android again.
  (And make sure version of metro in package.json "metro-react-native-babel-preset": "0.51.0" is the same with current metro's version)

[tibbus]

for me rc3 didn't solved the issue, but @kimbui87 solution did !

don't use run npm audit fix to fix them, or npm audit for details in your project. just npm install

I have the same issue. Updating gradle to 3.3.0 did address this issue. But gradle 3.3.0 has a bug. It can not resolve R file in my project. all of my layout file can not be resolved. I have to downgrade gradle to 3.2.1. But, this issue will happen again. How to fix this?

You should put it in root - same level with App.js. But now RN 0.59 official version was release, it seems no need config metro anymore.

[iKronyck]

Thanks @kimbui87 working for me

[cliff-km]

I have the same issue as @859988748. I'm using react-native-maps and facing a similar build issue where the apparent working solution is to downgrade gradle to 3.2.1.

Here's a link to that issue: react-native-maps/react-native-maps#2696

[859988748]

@CliffWMiller I solved it. You need to upgrade AS to 3.2.2 also. using the latest AS will work good with gradle 3.3.0. It cost me one day.

delete old node_modules, yarn install again to make sure new config above is applied

i solved my problem using this npm install — save “react-native-maps@jerolimov/react-native-maps#fix-rn59rc-compile-issues”

from: react-native-maps/react-native-maps#2702

the problem is with React native 0.59+ that compile with compileSdkVersion 28 and maps use 26

Any help appreciated.

Magic answer
compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion inside in root build.gradle file and in react-native-admob build.gradle must be same

Just like:

 root/ build.gradle                                                           
            compileSdkVersion 28                                                        
            buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"     

.../ react-native-admob build.gradle 
            compileSdkVersion 28                                                        
            buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"

I had to change the buildscript object in build.gradle to match with the emulator sdk version as

buildscript {

buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
minSdkVersion = 16
compileSdkVersion = 28
targetSdkVersion = 28
supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
}
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.1'

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

@zhou7102 compare your android/* files with https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/0.59-stable/template/android. I upgraded gradle to 5.4.1 and to get rid of the problem above.

and solved by these steps:

• In gradle-wrapper.properties
  change distributionUrl to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip
• and in root build.gradle file change gradle classpath to this: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
• Copy file 'metro.config.js' in 0.59-stable/template to your project.
• Remove node_modules, yarn install, and run-android again.
  (And make sure version of metro in package.json "metro-react-native-babel-preset": "0.51.0" is the same with current metro's version)

this is error
