react-native: React Native version mismatch (on app that was working a couple of hours ago) - Android

I was also struggling with this. Somebody has added this https://bintray.com/weimob/maven/react-native/0.55.3 and it will break all React Native Android builds that specify jcenter() in project’s repositories. To avoid this issue, you should force React Native version in android/app/build.gradle file like this compile ("com.facebook.react:react-native:0.52.0") { force = true }. Change 0.52.0 to version you’re using.

@Dror-Bar Use compile("com.facebook.react:react-native:0.51.0") { force = true }

Instead of compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:0.51.0" { force = true }

SOS!! I just bought a cup of coffee, why punish me with this error. 😦

@Wiltzu Am I doing something wrong? For me it looks like this:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
}

Changed to this:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:0.51.0" { force = true } // From node_modules
}

And I’m getting the following error:

Could not find method com.facebook.react:react-native:0.51.0()

EDIT: I forgot to add the brackets. This is working: Thank you!

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
    compile ("com.facebook.react:react-native:0.51.0") { force = true } // From node_modules
}

Initializing in the latest version works. We are however currently unable to upgrade our app to the newest version. The problem though, we didn’t upgrade any packages nor did we reinstall any. It just suddenly broke.
