In this blog post, we’ll explore step-by-step solutions to resolve this issue and get your React Native project back on track.

1. Check Dependencies and Gradle Version

Keeping your project’s dependencies and Gradle version up-to-date is crucial for a smooth development experience.

• Update Gradle Version:
  • Navigate to android/build.gradle and ensure you are using a compatible Gradle version. Check the Gradle Plugin Release Notes for the latest version.
• Check React Native IAP Version:
  • Make sure you’re using the latest version of react-native-iap. Visit the GitHub repository for the most recent release.

2. Clean and Rebuild

Sometimes, accumulated artifacts can lead to unexpected issues. Let’s clean the project and rebuild it.

• Clean Gradle Cache:
  • Run the following commands in your project’s root directory:

cd android
./gradlew clean

Rebuild the Project:

• After cleaning, run:

./gradlew assembleDebug

3. Check for Conflicts

Dependency conflicts can lead to unexpected errors. Identify and resolve any conflicts.

• Check for Dependency Conflicts:
  • Run ./gradlew app:dependencies in the terminal to identify conflicts. Exclude conflicting versions if necessary.

./gradlew app:dependencies

4. Check build.gradle
