Found a thread which talks about it: #6152
Tried to change the dependencies from compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:0.20.0+' to compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:0.26.1'
After this change, the gradle build in Android Studio fails with below error:
Could not resolve com.facebook.react:react:react-native:0.26.1

I've uploaded the project files to the following git url:
https://github.com/talrejavishal/MyAwesomeApp.git
You could download the zip and investigate, if required.

Provide screenshots where appropriate

Can you reproduce this issue with a freshly init project ?

Same problem! I believe it might have to do with gradle not finding latest versions.

[satya164]

Did you do npm install?
