Build failed on run-android due to dependencies

Question

Problem while running the run-android. I was facing a problem, I guess it's dude to the gradle dependencies.

I have even tried sudo, which is giving some other random error saying $ANDROID_HOME. Which isn't the problem.

JS server already running.
Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug)...

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugCompile'.

Where did I go wrong?

Answer 1

Android Support Repository was missing installed, again followed all the steps here: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html

Answer 2

In case, like me, nothing else you've read has worked, this worked for me:

1. Check in the latest snapshot of changes to your source control
2. Remove the project directory from your system
3. Check out your code from source control
4. npm cache clean && npm install
5. watchman watch-del-all
6. react-native start -- --reset-cache
7. react-native run-android
