I really have no idea what I could do to solve this issue. Any idea ??

Answer 1

Try splitting out your maven repos:
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
}
See here for some more details: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-maps/issues/2090

Answer 2

Removing node_modules and re-installing depedencies often solve this issue.
rm -fr node_modules
yarn
