Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

Answer 1

I already had the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion on version number 30. I added to build.repositories jcenter() and to allprojects.repositories jcenter(), after that I build the react-native app and it works fine.

My build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 30
        targetSdkVersion = 30
        ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.1")
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        jcenter()

        
        maven {
            // All of the Detox artifacts are provided via the npm module
            url("$rootDir/../../../node_modules/detox/Detox-android")
        }
        

    }
}

Answer 2

In my case i opened build.gradle and updated all libraries to the latest one just like below

Answer 3

For our Flutter Project: Navigate to app-level build.gradle file. Change compileSdkVersion from 30 to 31 and Change targetSdkVersion from 30 to 31

Answer 4

Update 2021.07

I just had to change the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in my build.gradle file. (YourApp\android\build.gradle).

compileSdkVersion from 29 to 30
targetSdkVersion from 29 to 30

after this change, it started to run.

It happened out of blue with my app one morning without any recent changes - I double checked with Git. The app was working yesterday without any issue. Inside android/app/build.gradle file, changing this one:

compileSdkVersion flutter.compileSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion flutter.targetSdkVersion
    

to this one solved the issue:

compileSdkVersion 32
targetSdkVersion 32
