On Android -> Gradle sync is ok but when I run react-native- run-android the build is failing for the following error:

I got the same issue.
Any update?

It is fixed in the latest patch.

Just adding a comment that I'm running into this same issue from aws-amplify 0.4.8 and aws-amplify-react-native 0.2.19 to any 1.* versions. This is with react 16.3.1 and react-native 0.55.4

So far, this seems to be the main entry point for those trying to update aws-amplify to 1.* and seeing this issue. If anyone has found a workaround, that would be great to know. One difference with the original post is that the 2nd library error is debugCompileClasspath, instead of pushNotification.

Adding onto my own comment -- this is entirely related to PushNotifications -- I had thought it might be the new modularized version as of 1.* and/or something with dependencies in Android Studio. But, confirming this note: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/408 -- if you take out all of your PushNotifications it then builds.
