App don't run: BUILD FAILED error: cannot find symbol import android.support.annotation.Nullable

See original GitHub issue

I have a project just created with version 0.59.10 of react native and after trying to install react-navigation my android app doesn’t build anymore. When I try to build on android I get this error:

warning: [options] source value 7 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release
warning: [options] target value 7 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release
warning: [options] To suppress warnings about obsolete options, use -Xlint:-options.
