I had a third-party dependency (react-native-admob) which specified in its build.gradle file the following: com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+. Taking a look over at the Google Android APIs release notes page, there were breaking updates to the whole com.google.android.gms group of APIs on 17th June 2019.
I run './gradlew assembleDebug' got error:
/Users/yons/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/appcompat-v7-27.1.1.aar/8cb1ac92f08bb5fb26b003aaf1d22a69/res/values/values.xml:251:5-69: AAPT: error: resource android:attr/fontVariationSettings not found.

To fix my issue, I added the following to my android/app/build.gradle file:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.2.1'
}
Now, I run './gradlew assembleDebug' works fine. But I run './gradlew assembleRelease' got an error:
/Users/yons/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/appcompat-v7-27.1.1.aar/8cb1ac92f08bb5fb26b003aaf1d22a69/res/values/values.xml:251:5-69: AAPT: error: resource android:attr/fontVariationSettings not found.

- What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':react-native-admob:verifyReleaseResources'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt
How can I solve it?
