With RN 0.60.3 the Android setup for Detox from the docs is causing an issue in the build (while running detox build -c android). Happened on a new React project.

As a temporary workaround add the following to your android/app/build.gradle

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        // TODO: Line below required for Detox since version 12.5
        //   It should removed as soon as the project compiles without it
        force 'androidx.annotation:annotation:1.0.0'
    }
}

The issue is that Detox uses version 1.1.0 for android.annotation, while react native itself (or any of your dependencies) uses version 1.0.
