[Android] compileDebugJavaWithJavac

Trying to run react-native run-android I get the error below.

I am running react native version 0.59.9.

I have no problems running react-native run-ios.

Any ideas?

today I encountered this problem with react-native: 0.61.5 with react-native-screens: 2.3.0 and the solution is to upgrade the gradle version to 3.5.2

android/build.gradle

...

dependencies {
  classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2")
...

The changes were found in the react-native v0.62.0-rc.5. It did work for me after a few hours of finding a solution.
