I had the same issue after install this package. Any solution?

I also have this issue. Hope a solution comes soon.

At last I removed it totally by reversing the changes made by react-native link command. At the sametime, I found the changes made by that command are different from the instructions for manual link. The changes made by command line is somewhat @....._slider, but the manual link say @....-slider. I think these may be clues for this issue.

@Nerogee @Tiuipuv @bahmanian I realised that the reason is this dependency https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-slider/blame/7f2f618a72a5de219c57058412bd67f809e9948b/android/build.gradle#L40 present in 1.1.0 (currently published), which was changed from com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion} in 1.0.4 and changed back in 1.4.0 (but it's not published yet).

Having that it mind downgrading to 1.0.4 solved the issue.

Sorry about that, I just got back from the vacation, and I didn't notice that unpublishing 1.1.0 failed. It is already marked as deprecated, version 1.1.1 should be bug-free.
