Try updating google play services to 15.0.1

[MoeMamdouh]

its already updated @IljaDaderko

[MoeMamdouh]

@chrisbianca can you help please?

[husnaingoldev]

try cleaning the project

[chrisbianca]

It looks like you haven't correctly added google() to your build.gradle. Please check all the installation instructions on the docs.

[MoeMamdouh]

@chrisbianca no I added it, and i follow the instructions and i checked it serval times.

any help please.

@MoeMamdouh

You also need to add google() dependency inside build.gradle under allProjects

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
        maven {
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
    }
}

[MoeMamdouh]

@IljaDaderko
thank you, yes you're right, also i update android/app/build.gradle to

compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"

[batmanhit]

These 2 solutions above worked like a charm.
Thanks.

[MoeMamdouh]

@batmanhit U R welcome

[mouthzipper]

saved my day. Thanks @MoeMamdouh @IljaDaderko

[MacKentoch]

Does not solve still having The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.0,15.0.0], [15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 15.0.1..

I don't explicitly use play-services-basement.

This looking like related to firebase release note

[hegelstad]

@MacKentoch are you using react-native-maps? In node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/build.gradle set base and maps version to 15.0.1.
