I have the same issue, any solution? Thanks :)

Probably duplicate of #361, fixed by #362

Try add + back

   // For < 0.71, this will be from the local maven repo
   // For > 0.71, this will be replaced by `com.facebook.react:react-android:$version` by react gradle plugin
   //noinspection GradleDynamicVersion
-  implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native"
+  implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"

@Sunbreak tried your approach of adding + but it is not working, still getting unresolved reference: facebook

I have built a clean project from create-react-native-library@latest, any suggestions?

Could you share you clean project?

[chandreshgroww]

@Sunbreak I haven't done any modification in the project created from npx create-react-native-library@latest my-lib

and performed yarn

then opened the android folder present in root (not in example folder)

and it shows unresolved reference: facebook

Different environment would use different version of create-react-native-library and generate different yarn.lock, especially react-native version

I've got 3 macOS, 1 Linux and 1 Windows PC. None of them use the same version of Nodejs/create-react-native-library/react-antive version when calling npx create-react-native-library@latest my-lib

I was getting the same issue so I used this com.facebook.react:react-android:+ instead of com.facebook.react:react-native:+. Detail, my React Native version is 0.71.3

Yep. That's the point.

Summary

Fix #361 which is introduced by 4eff3eb

According to outage postmortem, we could revert the noinspection version + back for [email protected].*

Test plan

The outage postmortem shows why 0.71.3 use react-android instead of react-native

@dhananjayspeed @babeone @chandreshgroww

in android/buid.gradle (Root, not from example folder) I downgraded com.android.tools.build:gradle to this version

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3'

then press Gradle Sync,
in what I have tried solve facebook import

[reyn-nova]

no more facebook import reference error

[pasquale95]

The suggestion from @Sunbreak solved the issue for me. In addition, I had to add the following line to gradle.properties:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096M -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m

I was getting the same issue so I used this com.facebook.react:react-android:+ instead of com.facebook.react:react-native:+. Detail, my React Native version is 0.71.3

current default install version "react-native": "0.73.6",

I find solution from current version

// add this 
repositories {
...
    maven {
      // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
      url(new File(['node', '--print', "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim(), '../android'))
    }
    maven {
      // Android JSC is installed from npm
      url(new File(['node', '--print', "require.resolve('jsc-android/package.json', { paths: [require.resolve('react-native/package.json')] })"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim(), '../dist'))
    }

    maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
}

but get error

Null extracted folder for artifact: ResolvedArtifact(componentIdentifier=com.facebook.react:react-android:0.74.0-rc.9, variant=com.facebook.react:react-android:0.74.0-rc.9 variant debugVariantDefaultApiPublication, variantName=null, artifactFile=/Users/*/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.facebook.react/react-android/0.74.0-rc.9/230689da851d580ab200e95b8e677bef86e844e2/react-android-0.74.0-rc.9-debug.aar, isTestFixturesArtifact=false, extractedFolder=null, publishedLintJar=null, dependencyType=ANDROID, isWrappedModule=false)
