@saschak42 It seems I somehow tested the wrong thing. I can reproduce the isse with the last canary build of Android Studio. I’ll reopen and create a fix.

We’ve tried Android Studio 3.1.4 and 3.2 Beta 5. With the Android Gradle plugin 3.0.0 and higher you don’t need to specify a buildToolsVerson (see https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/build-tools). We also use implementation/api for a while.

The problem is that the Realm build.gradle file uses compile instead of implementation: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/master/react-native/android/build.gradle
