I'm trying to build my React Native project

react-native run-android

I get this error 

Could not resolve com.android.support:support-compat:26.1.0.
....
 Required by: project :react-native-maps
...
 Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.

However, my build.gradle file has

implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0"

and the builTools 28.0.3 exist in my ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools, i have also tried using both

implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+"

This doesn't work for me either.

  • check your `/node_modules/react-native-maps` folder. this package is using `support-compat:26.1.0`. maybe some version changes in its configuration solve your problem – Ali SabziNezhad Apr 13 '19 at 11:43
  • I hear you, but i don't understand. Is there a specific file i should change inside `/node_modules/react-native-maps` – Africa Matji Apr 13 '19 at 12:07

I have solved this by upgrading to the latest version of the react-native-maps plugin.

npm install --save "react-native-maps@react-native-community/react-native-maps#master".

I think its very important to make sure that all plugins are updated, especially if you haven't touched your project for some time and when you do everything just breaks.
