React-Native: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'

Question

I am kind of new to the react-native thing so please excuse me for maybe making stupid mistakes.

I basically tried everything I could find before posting here and by now am not sure if this is something on my end (aka me being stupid) or a bug due to recent updates somewhere.

So, my problem is the error message mentioned above which I am getting when trying to build the app (either by using react-native run-android or even with gradlew clean). I post the full error message below as well as my app/build.gradle, build.gradle and settings.gradle files.

I left all the files the way they were created by "react-native init" and "just" added the commands I had to add according to the respective libraries' installation guides.

Due to recent changes in the Firebase SDKs I had to change quite a bit when it comes to gradle version, etc. which is why I wonder if this issue has anything to do with that?!

Oh, and the version numbers:

"dependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.26.3",
"eslint": "^4.19.1",
"fbjs": "^0.8.16",
"react": "16.3.1",
"react-native": "0.55.4",
"react-native-firebase": "^4.1.0",
"react-native-navigation": "^1.1.458",
"react-native-vector-icons": "^4.6.0",
"react-redux": "^5.0.7",
"redux": "^4.0.0",
"redux-logger": "^3.0.6",
"redux-thunk": "^2.2.0"
}

I installed every package with yarn (yarn add react-native-vector-icons, etc.) and npm (npm install, as well as npm install react-native-vector-icons, etc.) to make sure it's not related to any of those. In between I removed the whole node_modules folder of course. Neither did react-native link help.

It's also not limited to the mentioned react-native-vector-icons package: I removed it from my project completely and the same error just pops up for another package.

I appreciate any help and hints!

Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

I just had this issue. For me, the fix was simply running the run command again.

react-native run-android

Answer 2

run cd android && ./gradlew clean

Answer 3

I began as @Prahbu but changed in the middle so I thought I'd post what I did as a different answer :

here is what I did (in the project's root folder as well) :

1. You need to delete both ios,android and node module folder. Afterwards, you can run the following commands
2. > npm install //to get the node module folder
3. > react-native-git-upgrade 

You'll eventually stumble upon this error. In this case, delete your .babelrc (after you saved its content), you may for example rename it to .babelrc2, and replace the generated .babelrc with yours when you're done.

If the react-native-git-upgrade didn't generate the ios and android folder, run

react-native eject

And all that is left is, as per the original answer,

4. > react-native link // for linking the libraries
5. > react-native run android/ios

Answer 4

Moving the google() to the top can sometimes solve issues like this. an example fix from your code

buildscript {
    google()
    repositories {
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }  
    }
}

Answer 5

Why do I always find the answer to questions I have shortly after asking for it in a forum or on Stackoverflow? xD

Just found the solution in this post:

Apparently there is a bug in the "google-services" version that I was using. Downgrading from

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'

to

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

in my "build.gradle" file made the deal.

Answer 6

You can run the following command at your project's root folder

1. You need to delete both ios,android and node module folder. Run the following commands
2. > npm install //to get the node module folder
3. > react-native upgrade //to get android and ios folder
4. > react-native link // for linking the libraries
5. > react-native run android/ios
