Answer 1

I got same issue. Just today. When I try to run locally, I got the exact same error. To get it run again, I update the field compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in file android > build.gradle from 29 to 30. Then, it can run again. If this answer fits with you, you can go with this way. But, personally, I'm lookin for solution without to change the value compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion

Update: just change the compileSdkVersion

Answer 2

Apparently they just broke this today.

You can fix it by adding the following line to build.gradle file:

configurations.all {   
    resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0 }
} 

Finally, the Gradle build was successfully completed. Ref. https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.ResolutionStrategy.html

Answer 3

The issue was just what I guessed. So, some updates to a minor version/patch version of an android dependency caused all this today.

To solve this, for the dependencies in your build.gradle file, if you have specified it to take the latest minor/patch version every time you build it, make it take an exact stable version.

For example, my appcompact dependecy was,

implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.+

This means that it can update to 1.2.x or 1.3.x etc.. as and when such version updates get published. I changed this to depend on an exact stable version like below,

implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0"

Hopefully, this solves the issue for everyone.

Answer 4

For me the issue is caused by react-native-netinfo 's old version 4.0.0 which was configured to automatically pick up the latest published package of androidx.core... So in that case it did I realized androidx.core.core-1.7.0-alpha01 had been published right as the issue started occurring.

So to fix that I updated my react-native-netinfo package from 4.0.0 to 6.0.0 and this issue was resolved for me.

Answer 5
