Reproducible Demo

I had to define the facebook sdk version on android/build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy {
                force 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.28.0'
            }
        }
    }
}

[warrenronsiek]

Adding a maven repository url to google solved this for me:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
            }
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy {
                force 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.28.0'
                }
            }
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
                url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
            }

        }
    }
