React Native FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. Could not resolve ':classpath'. Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1
I had the same problem, I tried Manoj Prabhakar's solution but I fixed adding the google() repository to the buildscript block in the project level build.gradle
buildscript { repositories { jcenter() google() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' }}
I added google() and mavenlocal() to the buildscript
buildscript { repositories { google() mavenLocal() jcenter() } ....}
Jcenter does not have Gradle 3.0.1.
It is available in Google's maven repository. here
You should add google() to allprojects in your project level build.gradle
Do this:
In your react native project, Navigate to -> android -> build.gradle.
add google() to allproject repository like this:
This should fix your problem.
Edit 1:replace google() with this
maven { url "https://maven.google.com/"}
