This only happens when I use mavenCentral in android/build.gradle. Using jcenter is fine. But jcenter is gonna be removed soon.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use mavenCentral in android/build.gradle
2. Run app in development

What you’re experiencing is caused by having a FLIPPER_VERSION=0.75.1 somewhere inside a gradle.proprties inside your project. That Flipper version is really old and you should instead use at least 0.99.0 which is the correct version to use with 0.66.4:

Anyone still facing the same issue as it not working for me as well even with FLIPPER_VERSION=0.99.0
