react-native-vector-icons: Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.+

I just encountered this issue, in 2 different PCs, in 2 different projects in both. It was not going away by itself, but I fixed it doing 2 things, in my node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/android/build.gradle, added the google() repository and updated the gradle dependency, as such:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
  }
}

From what it seems, this will happen every now and then when jcenter decides to change things, in most cases you can just wait for it to fix itself but i’d recommend doing this for vector icons next release to avoid these sudden downtimes.

It worked for me. Upgrade “react-native-vector-icons”: “^6.0.2” in package.json

Then, do/follow the manual installation guide for android on this link.

I’m sorry, I didn’t notice I was using the wrong version in my package.json file, had it as ^5.0.0, that is why this package was using such an old gradle version. Updating react-native-vector-icons in my package.json file to at least 6.0.2 already applies exactly what I was suggesting, so anyone running into this issue, do update your package instead of doing this manually.

Also be careful that 6.1.0 requires gradle 3.2 at least to work so do take care to update when needed.

Its internet. my wifi was disconnecting when I was run android build and got this error.

As google removed gradle v2.2.* from jcenter.So many plugins not work.It’s works for me if you dont want to upgrade your packages or gradle.in your android/build.gradle, add these line

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

It worked for me. First, i added google() into 2 repositories in android/build.gradle. Then i changed dependencies to classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0’ Then i changed distributionUrl in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip Hopefully this way can help.

thanks man this worked for me

cd project/android/app 

and run

./gradlew clean

Yes, the update is the solution but many icons are no longer valid, must be searched and modified.

https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools has been removed from production, so unless that was a mistake and they put it back, this is a temp workaround to get you back up and running until a fix is out from this library or jcenter.

Same issue for me. Unable to build on android starting this morning.

I getting this issue in today morning. Hopefully it will fix soon

i have the same problem since today 😕

Not completely. Right, it doesn’t relate to this package. Thanks!
