How could I make react-native-onesignal work on all devices?

Question

I've been facing this scenario for months on my OneSignal and I still haven't figured out how to solve it:

My question is: How could I make it work on all devices? I imagine that I am getting lost in the settings of the dependencies in the gradle files.

android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 29
        googlePlayServicesAuthVersion = "16.0.1"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1')
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Update

I opened anissue on react-native-onesignal

It looks like you are using an outdated version of the Android SDK Build Tools. Make sure you are downloading them at the correct place as well as updating them often from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/build-tools

If this does not fix your OneSignal notifications issues, it might be a messed up setting under your OneSignal.com dashboard. Make sure that the server urls that is connecting to are correct.

Could you also explain which devices the notifications aren't currently working on?
