Could not find com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1

Question

I suddenly started getting this error when trying to build. This was all working a few weeks ago with no changes that I know of. The issue seems to be related to react

Answer 1

My case was that this is react-native-fbsdk build.gradle (https://github.com/facebook/react-native-fbsdk/blob/master/android/build.gradle):

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
    compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+' // support react-native-v0.22-rc+
    compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+')
}

I am using React Native 0.37, so this is the line that broke for me:

compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+')

Had to change to this for compatibility:

compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.18.+')
