React Native - Run Android - Could not find common.jar (android.arch.core:common:1.0.0)

Question

When run react-native run-android, I got this error :

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApk'.
   > A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-device-info'.
      > Could not find common.jar (android.arch.core:common:1.0.0).
        Searched in the following locations:
            https://jcenter.bintray.com/android/arch/core/common/1.0.0/common-1.0.0.jar

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

I found this solution and works for me: add maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } in line 18 in file android/build.gradle

For me, this manages to compile the project, but on Android the app crashes on opening. Is your app working normally? – Maurício Araldi May 28 '18 at 14:27
Yes, works perfect – emamut May 28 '18 at 14:35

Ah, it was just because adding this repository automatically updated the version of play-services-base and play-services-maps. Needed to change it on build.gradle – Maurício Araldi May 28 '18 at 14:35
@MaurícioAraldi How did you solved the crashes of the app after added maven url? – Haytham Tomeh May 28 '18 at 14:52
It would be interesting to know why this error is due – emamut May 28 '18 at 17:51

We have been having the same problem today and it seems like the bintray mirror where common.jar is hosted is out of sync or something - some requests work, most don't. – nover May 28 '18 at 18:51

If you are using jcenter() and maven {url "https://maven.google.com"} make sure that maven {url "https://maven.google.com"} is written first (upper in code).

android.arch.core:common:1.0.0 exists in jcenter(), but doesn't have .jar file there and thats why build fails. Using Google Maven first fixes this problem, because .jar exist there.

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } // <--- This needs to be before jcenter().
        jcenter()
    }
}

I did it as your code. But still it is not working – Mafujul Jun 08 '18 at 15:38
This is correct. Ordering `maven` before `jcenter` means it will attempt to find the library dependency on `maven` first and only if it's not available on `maven` will it try `jcenter`. – Joshua Pinter Jun 08 '18 at 20:27
This is exactly what's breaking everything. Thanks! – Logus Graphics Jun 08 '18 at 21:29
@Eddwhis I am also facing the same problem after adding react native fbsdk, In my `android/build.gradle` i do not see allprojects so shall i be adding that one or where shall i add that line? – user7747472 Jun 09 '18 at 07:37
@Mafijul - have you tried project clean? Or Android Studio "Invalidate cache and restart" ? – Eddwhis Jun 11 '18 at 10:25
@user7747472 - you can try to add this block to build.gradle – Eddwhis Jun 11 '18 at 10:25

In my case, it was a network issue with my Wifi (proxy...). Try to switch network with mobile data for example.

I updated my root projects build gradle version and all the support libraries to latest version and its working now, you can check it go through, build.gradle(root project) -> buildscript -> dependencies-> classpath->

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.your_latest_version'

also make sure your compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion are latest

and once check version of distributionUrl also from gradle-wrapper.properties file
