Android: example build failed

See original GitHub issue

What I did:

cloned repository
ran yarn install in terminal in Example folder
ran react-native run-ios -> this was ok
ran react-native run-android -> failed

What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
> Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.AaptException: AAPT2 compile failed:

before the Error appears, there are few logs of this kind

> Task :app:mergeDebugResources
/Users/Pavel/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/appcompat-v7-24.0.0.aar/74cbb38e018f31a50b2829379ad307ae/res/values/values.xml:235:5-90: AAPT: invalid dimen

so it may be releated to appcompat-v7-24.0.0?

my setup:

running on macOS,
trying to run on device Nexus 5X Android 8.1.0 installed versions of RN on system
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.51.0

what I tried:

Run ./gradlew clean
delete node_modules and run npm install instead of yarn
installed android SDK 24.0.0 (then tried cleaning project again, restart terminal)
