I tries clean & build and also inavalidate caches .but nothing worked. Also tries some stackoverflow solutions. none of them worked for me

this my repository in build.gradle

 repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Solution 2

Use this dependency for Facebook SDK. It will work. (Tested on Android Studio version 3.0 and above)

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:4.30.0'

Solution 3

remove compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'

And add below dependency it resolve my problem

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.26.0'

Solution 4

In the file android/build.gradle try to replace each jcenter() with gradlePluginPortal()

Solution 5

If your react-native version is >= 9.3.0+ you can solve this issue by just removing and adding some lines:

 1)Remove this line from app/build.gradle ===>
 implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[5,6)'

 2)Add this line in app/build.gradle ===>
  implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android- 
  sdk:latest.release'

 3)Add this in android/build.gradlew 
 allprojects {
repositories {


    google()
    mavenLocal()
    maven {
        // Android JSC is installed from npm
        url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
    }
   mavenCentral().  <====== Add this
    google()
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
  }
}

4)At the end run gradlew clean command

Try removing the dependencies and re-adding them and then Clean Build the project again. Also, make sure your Studio and all Services are updated.

I think It's repository error. Right now its working . I re-added everything one by one. Thanks for your replay
