Rocket.chat.reactnative: What version of Node.js, Yarn, and react-native to build the app ?

[HamzaKhait]

Hello,

I get many errors when I try to build the react-native app of Rocket.Chat. These errors are mainly linked to Node.js Yarn and react-native versions.

What is the most recommended version of Node.js, Yarn, and react-native for building the latest stable release Version: 4.1.0.

Thanks.

React native cli 2.0.1

We don't have a recommend version, but 10.13 works fine here.

@Prateek93a @diegolmello Thanks for the feedback.
I'm sorry for reopening this issue but the problem is unsolved.
When I try to build the single-server branch, I get the following error :

To suppress this warning, remove "buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'" from your build.gradle file, as each version of the Android Gradle Plugin now has a default version of the build tools.
