Hey guys, I've just met the same issue after installing this library. The default version in package.json is 6.0.2.

I've solved this problem by below changes:

1. change configuration in android/build/gradle. This is part of my code:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        google()
    }
}

add google() to buildscript and allprojects, and change the gradle version in classpath. Open ...\node_modules\react-native-vector-icons\android\build.gradle, you will find the gradle version in classpath is 3.1.4, that's why we need to make this change.

1. In your android project, open android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, modify the distributionUrl:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

Since this library depends on gradle version above 3.1.4, we should set a new version than that.

Rebuild the project, it finally works.

@mrarronz Thank you! I have solved my problem according to your answers, but a mistake may exist in your answer.

1. The first configuration is the android/build/gradle

It should be android/build.gradle
