React-native-device-info: android buildToolsVersion "25.0.2" is too high for us

[BBBOND]

Can you reduce it's version to 23.0.1 ?
Thanks!

Please don't. Just fork the lib and drop it to your needs.

You can do the following to force subprojects to compile with the build tools that you use.

In your build.gradle file, that lives inside the android directory, not the android/app directory, add the following.

android/build.gradle

ext {
    compileSdkVersion = 23
    buildToolsVersion = "23.0.1"
}
subprojects { subproject ->
    afterEvaluate{
        if((subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android') || subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android-library'))) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
                buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
            }
        }
    }
}

Inside your android/app/build.gradle file, change compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion to the following

android/app/build.gradle

compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion

Closing this as we won't downgrade and a proper solution was provided.
