React-Native-Could not resolve all files for configuration ':classpath'. Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1

Question

I tried this solution on StackOverflow but didn't work.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Android-Studio-3, Java-1.8, Gradle-3.4.1.

Github-repo link of my project. I am building React-Native App, after npm run eject, I can't run npm run android.

I was able to run a project before ejecting app but an error occurs when I run npm run android,

(base) gd@gd10:~/Desktop/react-native/demo_app$ npm run android

It fails to build gradle, and could not find gradle, though I have installed gradle using sudo apt-get install gradle.

It gives same output on running with flag --stactrace,

Edit 1:

after answer from cod-e-rection,

I changed code as

dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'
}

then after running npm run android, it gave error as,

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']
   > Minimum supported Gradle version is 4.10.1. Current version is 4.4. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /home/gd/Desktop/react-native/demo_app/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

I think it should be `classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'` or same as current Android Studio version number — Woraphot Chokratanasombat, Mar 06 '19 at 16:00

Seems like your Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1. issue is solved by changing the version code 3.4.1 to 3.3.2.

Another problem exists because in 3.3.2 gradle version you have to use minimum gradle distribution version 4.10.1. To solve this open gradle-wrapper.properties file and use this line to

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

Replace the previous on whatever it is.

Welcome. Happy to help you. – Faysal Ahmed Mar 07 '19 at 05:10 — Faysal Ahmed, Mar 07 '19 at 05:10

The latest android gradle version is :

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'
}

You can find the documentation at the follwing link . So you have to change it from classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1' to : classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2' and it will be fixed.

First, in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties change distributionUrl to:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

Then, in android/build.gradle change gradle classpath to this:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
