React native app force closes on Android 4.4.2

Question

When I test my React Native app on Android 4.4.2, I get the stack trace at the bottom of this post. This is my build config:

compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '25.0.3'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "... my app name ..."
        multiDexEnabled true
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 30000
        versionName "3.0.0"
        ndk {
            abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
        }
    }

This is the stacktrace:

I already tried to add com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0 to my gradle dependencies (mentioned here: Why My android app crashes as soon as I open it in device 4.4.3 but not in device 5.0 or above), but that did not help.

Could you try and align your `compileSdkVersion` and `buildToolsVersion`? Set the latter to `23.0.3` — G0dsquad, Jun 07 '17 at 09:04
> The SDK Build Tools revision (23.0.3) is too low for project ':app'. Minimum required is 25.0.0 — Gersom, Jun 07 '17 at 09:17
Is your project 'app'? That usually occurs when dependencies have a higher version requirement, these are normally lower down in the build.gradle -> e.g. `compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"`. If you have any relevant ones try changing them. — G0dsquad, Jun 07 '17 at 09:20
Does not solve it unfortunately... To what do you suggest changing those versions? I also tried to set everything to highest version. It does work on everything android 6+ — Gersom, Jun 07 '17 at 10:50
This is class not found exception. Have you followed all steps correctly for adding facebook sdk. https://github.com/facebook/react-native-fbsdk — Ankit Aggarwal, Jun 07 '17 at 19:30
I tried it now in debug mode in an emulator... This is more descriptive: `Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.my.appname.MainActivity" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.my.appname-1.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app-lib/com.my.appname-1, /system/lib]]` This is my manifest.xml: `... package="com.my.appname" ...` `... android:name=".MainApplication" ...` — Gersom, Jun 12 '17 at 12:35
