React-native-firebase: android gradle build failed

[callmejm]

"react-native": "0.53.0",
"react-native-firebase": "^4.0.5",

In document https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/installation/android say that need Android build tools to version 3.1.0. Then I also change all my build.gradle compileSdkVersion to27 and buildToolsVersion to '27.0.3', also change all compile to implementation, but I the error below

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:preDebugBuild'.

  Android dependency 'com.android.support:support-v4' has different version for the compile (26.1.0) and runtime (27.0.2) classpath. You should manually set the same version via DependencyResolution

• Try:
  Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

• Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

cd android then gradlew clean and try running react-native run-android

[callmejm]

@judemanutd still the same

[chrisbianca]

@JayricMok it could be that another of your dependencies is setting an older version of this support library. As mentioned in the error message, you should look to overwrite this using dependency resolution strategy available in gradle.

There is more information here: https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.ResolutionStrategy.html
