Answer 1

This happened to me with React Native 0.63 and Flipper version 0.54.

I did this to fix it:

1. Download groovy-all-2.4.15.jar from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/groovy/groovy-all/2.4.15/
2. Create the folder android/libs (if you don't have it)
3. Place the .jar file in the folder android/libs (you should check in the.jar file into your repository)
4. In your root build.gradle , add flatDir :

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
        // ...
+        flatDir {
+            dirs "$rootProject.projectDir/libs"
+        }
    }
}

Answer 2

The way I fixed was by adding mavenCentral() before jcenter . I didn't need to do it in all the node_modules. Just in the build.gradle of the app

Answer 3

Finally, I was able to find an answer, I am sharing it here because if anyone found the same issue can fix it.

Please remove android.enableAapt2=false from the Gradle.properties file. As App center must be using updated Gradle where the Aapt tool is true by default, this line is deprecated So remove it and try building the app on App center again.

I hope it will resolve the issue for everyone facing it. :)

Answer 4

I think this happens because in the free tier allows only 30mins of build time and if it exceeds the connection is reset and the build fails.
