Yes, the solution was recently added, you can see it on the link below.

Add supportLibVersion = "28.0.0" to buildscript in android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"  // <=== add this line
    }

    ...
}

After we used the solution proposed by Nykollas, we instead receive the error…

Could not find method safeExtGet() for arguments [supportLibVersion, 28.0.0] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

We removed the line, and instead updated the root build.gradle to include the supportLibVersion line below. Keen to hear others’ thoughts.

buildscript {
    ext {
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"

Edit: I also note that my solution above seems to be the recommended solution in the doco here: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-maps/blob/master/docs/installation.md

Add this in your android/build.gradle buildscript { ext { buildToolsVersion = “28.0.3” minSdkVersion = 16 compileSdkVersion = 28 targetSdkVersion = 28 ----->>>>>The lines below<<<<<<<----------- supportLibVersion = “28.0.3” googlePlayServicesVersion = “16.1.0” androidMapsUtilsVersion = “0.5+” } }

This is in no way a solution, please make a release with the fix or reopen the bug

Yes @pietrovismara and @diogoviannaaraujo the proper solution is to make a updated release. I i’ll work on that in soon.

Nykollas on Oct 29, 2019

@Nykollas It would be much nicer to have a proper npm release though. If we use the git repository master branch, we will end up installing any unstable code change. Any plan on an npm release?
