React native fbsdk issue – Task :react-native-fbsdk:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED – Facebook api

I’m having issues building my android folder with react-native run-android after installing the fbsdk library and following all the steps to properly link it. Below is my error message.

I already tried to change my default sdk version from 23 to 27.0.1 which allowed me to have a more detailed error message since before I would only get failed to build aapp.

Any idea how to fix this? It works properly on ios.

    Ok so I managed to fix the fbsdk related issue. Apparently I was missing the following code inside android/build.graddle

    allprojects {
    repositories {
      ...

      maven {
          // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
          url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
      ...

    I'm now faced with another issue tho so I'll open another thread.

    It's important not to replace existing maven when adding new maven to the repositories apparently.

    I solved it by updating fbsdk to 0.8.0

    react-native install [email protected]

    Note: This will link the library. It may cause dual entries in your corresponding files, which you have to remove manually.

    Change your version of facebook-android-sdk to 4.37.0 on node_modules/react-native-fbsdk/android/build.gradle

    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.37.0'

    react-native-fbsdk error can’t run react-native run-android
