Answer 1

I struggled in a similar question after upgrading the Android Gradle Plugin Version from 3.3.0 to 4.0.0 of a React Native project as suggested by Android Studio. I followed the answer but it still do not sync correctly.

Finally I run rm -rf node_modules and re-install all the dependencies by npm install. After that I sync again and it sync correctly. I guess that there are some caches in different node modules that are not cleaned properly. I hope if someone encounter similar problem can try and see if my answer fix the problem.
