react-native build-android: "Could not find react-native.jar" - react-native

Question

I'm currently trying to build my React Native project (using ExpoKit and several native modules) for Android on a Mac running Mojave. It's working fine on iOS. However, I'm getting Could not find react-native.jar when running react-native run-android. It's looking for a react-native-33.0.0.jar file in file:/Users/username/Documents/Projekte/appname/app/node_modules/expokit/maven/com/facebook/react/react-native/33.0.0/, however, it's not there.
This is the output of react-native info:

The problem occurs while building the react-native-randombytes module. If I comment this module out, the same error happens on other modules like react-native-twilio-video-webrtc. This is the exact error:
> Task :react-native-randombytes:javaPreCompileDebug FAILED
> Task :app:exponentPrebuildStep
Opening `/dev/tty` failed (6): Device not configured
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':react-native-randombytes:debugCompileClasspath'.
> Could not find react-native.jar (com.facebook.react:react-native:33.0.0).
Searched in the following locations:
file:/Users/username/Documents/Projekte/appname/app/node_modules/expokit/maven/com/facebook/react/react-native/33.0.0/react-native-33.0.0.jar
Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Please set the React-native version in your package.json file.
package.json
"dependencies": {
...
"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-33.0.0.tar.gz",
And remove npm.lock
And rm -rf node_modules && npm install => expo start => open Android Studio => build
