Question

When i react-native run-android i get this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Where: Build file 'C:\Users\xcrix\Desktop\projects\The Art Hunter\arthunterclient\android\build.gradle' line: 10
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'arthunterclient'.

I spent more than 5 hours to solve this problem.tried everything on internet but still same...

Hi. I know it might be late to respond 3 months later, but for anyone else who will visit this question, this solution worked for me. — Waweru Kamau

This:

implementation(project(':react-native-maps')){
   exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
   exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
}
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'

remove it from android/build.gradle. keep it in android/app/build.gradle only
