Same problem here man :(

Probably won't have the bandwidth to look into this in the near future. If someone wants to take a look and work on a PR, I'd be happy to take a look.

This issue seems not be solved. Using version 0.92.0 still produces this error with gradle:

Build file '/node_modules/react-native-flipper/android/build.gradle' line: 30

A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-flipper'.
Plugin with id 'maven' not found.

Same problem with version 0.93.0... even if it is supposed to be fixed by this commit : https://github.com/facebook/flipper/commit/0df76e7267397c3d525e86ec0f4afee18efa5444 as mentionned above. 🤔 Maybe I did something wrong ?

[nikolajskov]

The error is still in 0.94.1.

@passy: Are we doing something wrong or is the error still unfixed?

[passy]

Sorry, I think I missed the RN bit as part of the conversion. Will take a look in the next few days.

[passy]

There are still some issues with the RN integration which show up in CI. I won't be able to look into this in the near future so if someone else would like to take a stab at it, please feel free!

It's worth noting that React Native itself isn't on Gradle 7 yet so I'm not sure if this is supported.
