How to resolve ':react-native-vector-icons' error for a successful build?

Question

I am trying to build my react-native app but I am getting an error:

• What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-vector-icons'.

• Could not resolve all files for configuration ':react-native-vector-icons:classpath'.

• Could not find any matches for com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.+ as no versions of com.android.tools.build:gradle are available.

I have tried the following commands:

• npm install
• npm install npm -g
• npm rm --cached
• git clean -d -fx
• npm cache clean --force
• npm update
• npm upgrade
• npm audit fix
• npm install react-native-vector-icons --save

I have tried everything I can find on how to resolve this but I cannot get this error to go away. Does anyone know how to resolve this react-native-vector-icons build fail error?
