Answer 1

Node is not good at figuring out when there are newer versions of an already used package. In this case, the version of react-native-vector-icons being referenced in the package.json file uses an older version of gradle.

To fix this, first try:

npm install react-native-vector-icons -save

If this doesn't work, which didn't in my case, go into your package.json file and change the package to the latest version yourself.

Get the latest version from the react-native-vector-icons website (right now it's 6.1.0) and change the line in the package.json, making it:

"dependencies": {
    ...

    "react-native-vector-icons": "^6.1.0",

    ...
 }

Answer 2

Just install the newer version of the package

yarn add react-native-vector-icons

Answer 3

Older versions of react-native-vector-icons appear to be referencing a version of the Android Gradle Plugin that recently stopped being available.

Updating your version should fix the problem. You can do this per the react-native-vector-icons installation instructions with:

npm install react-native-vector-icons --save

or if you use yarn:

yarn add react-native-vector-icons

Answer 4

Today I got the same problem with you! And then I try to change the versions, it is fixed now. just edit your package.json like this.

Before："react-native-vector-icons": "^5.0.0",

After："react-native-vector-icons": "^6.1.0",

Answer 5

Hi try this in your android/build.gradle after the allprojects section

    subprojects {
    if (project.name.contains('react-native-vector-icons')) {
        buildscript {
            repositories {
                maven {
                    url "https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools/"
                }
                jcenter()
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 6

Please share your current version of following

1. react-native-vector-icons
2. Current gradle version

This issue is due to that currently your app is being build with different gradle version and the react-native-vector-icons requires the gradle 2.3.+

Installing old version of react-native-vector-icons may fix this issue.

Or update your current gradle version by following this => How to update gradle in android studio?
