There will be build failures for Android due to the publish of the React Native version 0.71.0-rc0.

Method 1

Add this fix to your android -> build.gradle file as follows:

buildscript {
    // ...
}


allprojects {
    repositories {
       exclusiveContent {
           filter {
               includeGroup "com.facebook.react"
           }
           forRepository {
               maven {
                   url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
               }
           }
       }
        // ...
    }
}

What this fix will do is apply an exclusiveContent resolution rule that will force the resolution of React Native Android library, to use the one inside node_modules

Method 2

If your gradle doesn't support above, then add this to your android -> build.gradle file as follows:

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())


buildscript {
     // ...
}
    
    
allprojects {
    configurations.all {
          resolutionStrategy {
            force "com.facebook.react:react-native:"   REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
          }
    }
    // ...  
}

This solution worked for me react native version 63.3 and gradle 4.2.2

Thank you @Thanhal, I was stuck for 2 days.

add this to your android -> build.gradle file as follows:

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())


buildscript {
     // ...
}
    
    
allprojects {
    configurations.all {
          resolutionStrategy {
            force "com.facebook.react:react-native:"   REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
          }
    }
    // ...  
}
