I'm getting the following error when I try to build the project using $ react-native run-android.

I have jetify running postinstall and have 

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

in my gradle.properties.

Been lurking at many pages/github pages with no success :/ Any help is appreciated!

Other info:

react-native: 0.59.10

react-native-device-info: 5.6.1

I faced the same problem like you!

But I managed to solve it by just adding the dependencies.

yarn add react-native-device-info

Wolla! The app is now running.

for that problem, one way is that you can update the new `react-native-device-

info` to solve the problem.

it releases note give the version which support androidx

2.3.0 feat: AndroidX support (backwards/forwards compatible) (https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-device-info/pull/733) fix: isTablet() Android using Google-recommended / robust style (https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-device-info/pull/730)

the second way is to change the code manually.

the reason is that the android studio does not translate it to androidX API, so it reports errors. so you have to replace them manually or use the newest the version which had changed to android.

Besides them, you can see this question, it may help you
