Ensure you have the 23.0.1 version of the support libraries installed via the android sdk manager.

Got the same problem. From Gradle stacktrace:
Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Invalid Timestamp -15693297624000 for 'zip entry C:\Android\sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\appcompat-v7\23.0.1\appcompat-v7-23.0.1.aar!AndroidManifest.xml'.

Seems like my machine use local date format (Buddhist era) and Gradle parse that as negative timestamp. Switching to Common era solved the problem.

Thanks!

@rudwna Thanks man!
You've helped us!

Another lesson I learnt today, never rename the directory created by react-native init <project_name>.
for me this was the reason that caused this error.

Using this commands solved my build issue:
cd android
gradlew clean

Oh! Can't believe! Changing region solves this problem. 😱
Thank you.

1 year ago i solved by "downgrade java 8 to java 7" (oracle not support java 7)
But solved by "change region thai to english". It exactly awnser.
Very Thanks

But now it's really annoying to switch region between US and my country. I really hate switching now. 😤

Does it have other way to solve this issue?
