Answer 1

After 2 days I found the problem in my project. I changed the values of compileSdkVersion, supportLibVersion and playServicesVersion in android/build.gradle and android/app/build.gradle files to the same values as in node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/build.gradle and node_modules/react-native-maps/build.gradle files, this worked for me.

Values of compileSdkVersion, supportLibVersion and playServicesVersion are same in all the below files.

in android/build.gradle file:

...
ext {
    compileSdkVersion   = 28
    targetSdkVersion    = 27
    buildToolsVersion   = "28.0.3"
    minSdkVersion       = 16
    supportLibVersion   = "28.0.0"
    playServicesVersion = "16.1.0" // or set latest version
    androidMapsUtilsVersion = "0.5+"
}
...

in android/app/build.gradle file:

...
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.reactnativeapp2"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 26
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    ndk {
        abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
    }
}
...
...
}
...
dependencies {
   ...
   ...
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0'
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.1.0'
}
...

in node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/build.gradle file:

...
android {
  compileSdkVersion safeExtGet('compileSdkVersion', 28)

  defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion safeExtGet('minSdkVersion', 16)
    targetSdkVersion safeExtGet('targetSdkVersion', 27)
  }
}


dependencies {
  ...
  implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${safeExtGet('supportLibVersion', '28.0.0')}"
  implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:${safeExtGet('playServicesVersion', '16.1.0')}"
  implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:${safeExtGet('playServicesVersion', '16.1.0')}"
  implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.5'
}
...

in node_modules/react-native-maps/build.gradle file:

...
ext {
    minSdkVersion = 16
    compileSdkVersion = 28
    targetSdkVersion = 28
    supportLibVersion = '28.0.0'
    playServicesVersion = '16.1.0'
  }
