if removing dependency works
implementation project(':react-native-device-info')

Please tell what I'm doing wrong here! Why can not I add another dependency?

@andcosta change all imports like these

    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:12.0.1
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-database:12.0.1

to 15.0.0 and classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.1' This solved it for me, issue is not related to rnfirebase.
