As mentionned on this comment, you have to compile everything yourself. Add this in your android/app/build.gradle.

I don't know if you have the exact same problem, but everytime I ran in dex problems, this was the solution.

  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base-license:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-license:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics-impl:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth-base:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.4.2"
  compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-wallet:11.4.2"
