Could not find com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1

Question

I suddenly started getting this error when trying to build. This was all working a few weeks ago with no changes that I know of. The issue seems to be related to react

Answer 1

This seems to be an issue with react-native itself. There is no official fix for this (yet), however some people have reported upgrading to have solved their problem. You can check more details here

Update 1: Hi @roachman, this is the exact error I got which pointed me to search for above. There is another ticket logged #14225 for same(cannot post link for some reason). I was just able to resolve it by including exact version of react-native version in build.gradle dependencies line compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:0.xx.y" instead of compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+' You might want to try that for all projects that use that setting or a more elegant settings suggested in above in issue #14223 by user david50407

Update 2 This is officially fixed now have a look https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/14225#issuecomment-305073392 (had to remove earlier link for issue 14223 as I cannot post more than 2 links)
