Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.facebook.react:react-native:+]

See original GitHub issue

When following the guide for android I got the following failure:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-languages'.
> Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.facebook.react:react-native:+] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Found that someone had the same issue in another repo: https://github.com/ajaysaini-sgvu/react-native-schedule-sms/issues/2 (TLDR change implementation to compile in build.gradle line: 24)

So i tried the same fix for this repo and it solved the issue. Is there something i’m missing here ?

Just replace in

node_modules/react-native-languages/android/build.gradle line: 24

implementation() by compile()

For me the solution was this:

Update dependencies in: /android/build.gradle (line 12) for: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

After update version for Gradle in /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-4.1-all.zip distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

And run react-native run-android
