Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.facebook.react:react-native:+]

[leeleoo]

"react-native": "^0.54.3",
"react-native-android-open-settings": "^1.2.0",

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-android-open-settings'.

Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.facebook.react:react-native:+] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

in node_modules/react-native-android-open-settings/android/build.gradle

modify

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
}

to

dependencies {
    compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
}

and it works

I've had a bit different error message, but it helped, thanks!

                                          ^

@leeleoo but when you install your packages again or update them, your local change will be gone. You are using an older Android API level, right?

[effektsvk]

@donni106 That's why I made a fork, but now that I think about it a patch would be probably a better idea. AFAIK this is problem in gradle, not Android API level. compile is deprecated since gradle version 3, and I'm currently using 2.3.3 (classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3' in android/build.gradle)

[donni106]

Yes sure, gradle version, not Android API level, my fault.

[leeleoo]

@donni106 yes and I update gradle version to 3.x
