Answer 1

this also worked for me.

Modify android/build.gradle as follows

1) Add google() inside repositories

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        // add google() here
        google()

2) Update com.android.tools.build.gradle to 3.1.0

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
      // classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
      // update from 2.2.3 to 3.1.0 
      classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'

3) Add google() inside repositories after dependencies :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
      classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
    }
    allprojects {
      repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        // add googgle() here
        google()

4) Add android.enableAapt2=false to android/gradle.properties

android.enableAapt2=false // < ---  add here
android.useDeprecatedNdk=true
MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE=my-release-key.keystore
MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=my-key-alias

5) Update gradle version in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties :

// from version 2.14.1

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

// change to 4.10.1

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

6) Run react-native run-android
