Could not find any version that matches com.android.support:support-v4:27.+

In the current version (4.0.8), after I added the project and linked it (automatically or manually), the compilation always fails with the following message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-fast-image'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':react-native-fast-image:_debugPublishCopy'.

         MyProject:react-native-fast-image:unspecified

My android/app/build.gradle, has the following settings:

    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.myproject"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 10
        versionName "0.0.1"
        ndk {
            abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
        }
    }

Even though the build.gradle of react-native-fast-image has code that gets the sdk versions from the root-project (def _compileSdkVersion = _ext.has(‘compileSdkVersion’) ? _ext.compileSdkVersion : 27) it does somehow not work.

You could add the following to android/build.gradle:

project.ext {
    compileSdkVersion = 25
    buildToolsVersion = "25.0.2"
    minSdkVersion = 16
    targetSdkVersion = 22
}

But I’m wondering if I missed something on the way that I need this workaround which is not documented here.

I’ll try with a new project and see how it goes. If it doesn’t work then yes something needs to be fixed. Otherwise maybe just an instruction for adding the google() repository (I think that’s the change that needs to be made).
