Fix android compile bug

android/build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        google()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
}

ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "26.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 16
    compileSdkVersion = 26
    targetSdkVersion = 26
    supportLibVersion = "26.1.0"
}

 project.configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
       if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
              && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ) {
           details.useVersion "26.1.0"

     }
  }

  afterEvaluate {project ->
      if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
          android {
              compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
              defaultConfig {
                  targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion

android/app/build.gradle

android{
  compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
  buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
    defaultConfig{
      
      minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
      targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion  
      .....
    }
  .....
}

ADDITION If your project has other android package like react-native-image-picker, when you run ./gradlew assembleRelease, you probably get a error AAPT: resource android:attr/colorError not found. In order to fix this, you should make sure the compile version of the package match to your project. The following code do this work.

    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
                defaultConfig {
                    targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
                }
            }
        }
    }

MORE If you get a error : uncompiled PNG file passed as argument. Must be compiled first into .flat file.. error: failed parsing overlays.

modify ./android/gradle.properties, add the following code.

android.enableAapt2=false
