Answer 1

There is some issues in the react-native itself.
solution to this issue - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/35210
For react-native ( >= 0.63)
In android/build.gradle add this exclusiveContent inside the allprojects.repositories
allprojects {
repositories {
exclusiveContent {
// We get React Native's Android binaries exclusively through npm,
// from a local Maven repo inside node_modules/react-native/.
// (The use of exclusiveContent prevents looking elsewhere like Maven Central
// and potentially getting a wrong version.)
filter {
includeGroup "com.facebook.react"
}
forRepository {
maven {
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
}
}
// ...
}
}
For older react-native (< 0.63)
Add this in the allprojects area of your android/buld.gradle file.
def REACT_NATIVE_VERSION = new File(['node', '--print',"JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(require.resolve('react-native/package.json'), 'utf-8')).version"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim())
allprojects {
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
// Remove this override in 0.65+, as a proper fix is included in react-native itself.
force "com.facebook.react:react-native:" + REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
}
}

I am also facing this issue, the last time I built the app, everything worked fine, but just yesterday, the build started failing with this same error. No changes or updates were made.
