React-Native: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'

Question

I am kind of new to the react-native thing so please excuse me for maybe making stupid mistakes.

I basically tried everything I could find before posting here and by now am not sure if this is something on my end (aka me being stupid) or a bug due to recent updates somewhere.

So, my problem is the error message mentioned above which I am getting when trying to build the app (either by using react-native run-android or even with gradlew clean). I post the full error message below as well as my app/build.gradle, build.gradle and settings.gradle files.

I left all the files the way they were created by "react-native init" and "just" added the commands I had to add according to the respective libraries' installation guides.

Due to recent changes in the Firebase SDKs I had to change quite a bit when it comes to gradle version, etc. which is why I wonder if this issue has anything to do with that?!

Oh, and the version numbers:

"dependencies": {
"babel-core": "^6.26.3",
"eslint": "^4.19.1",
"fbjs": "^0.8.16",
"react": "16.3.1",
"react-native": "0.55.4",
"react-native-firebase": "^4.1.0",
"react-native-navigation": "^1.1.458",
"react-native-vector-icons": "^4.6.0",
"react-redux": "^5.0.7",
"redux": "^4.0.0",
"redux-logger": "^3.0.6",
"redux-thunk": "^2.2.0"
}

I installed every package with yarn (yarn add react-native-vector-icons, etc.) and npm (npm install, as well as npm install react-native-vector-icons, etc.) to make sure it's not related to any of those. In between I removed the whole node_modules folder of course. Neither did react-native link help.

It's also not limited to the mentioned react-native-vector-icons package: I removed it from my project completely and the same error just pops up for another package.

I appreciate any help and hints!

Thank you very much in advance!

Moving the google() to the top can sometimes solve issues like this. an example fix from your code

buildscript {
    google()
    repositories {
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }  
    }
}
