Fix:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    }
}

I encountered the same problem.
And this is my solution.
I added the following to the top build.gradle.

subprojects { subproject ->
    def name = subproject.name
    if (name.contains('react-native-contacts')) {
        buildscript {
            repositories {
                maven { url "https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools/"  }
            }
        }
    }
}

@solonifer :- I encountered the same error and followed the steps mentioned above. But the error does not go away. The configuration that I am using is as follows:-

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.47.0
"react": "16.0.0-alpha.12",
"react-dom": "16.0.0-alpha.12",

Request you to kindly help

Under dependencies, I have

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

tried changing it to 3.1.4 as mentioned above , but no luck.

@PersistentSatyenVelankar have you added google() to repositories?

solonifer on 10 Dec 2018

@solonifer - Yes I have added google() to repositories

PersistentSatyenVelankar on 10 Dec 2018

@PersistentSatyenVelankar have you changed this inside
node_modules/react-native-contacts/android/build.gradle ?
Not in your application. It should work.

You can also try to change buildToolsVersion in the same file.

@rt2zz do you have any plans to release the fix as a new version in npmjs soon?

igorkurochka on 10 Dec 2018

@solonifer :- Hi , Thanks , but I think that means that everytime I reinstall node-modules , I need to apply this patch of code. I was looking for a solution where patching of code is not required

A PR for the fix would be merged. @PersistentSatyenVelankar @igorkurochka if someone wants to narrow down the fix to exactly the lines that need to change I'd appreciate it.
