I have a problem in a react-native project after install react-native-vector-icons and try to build android app in the emulator. I'm working on Windows.
I installed the library and linked it as said in the manual, but I think I have a dependency problem.

C:react-native run-android
Scanning folders for symlinks in C:UsersuserSourcereactnativemyappnode_modules (43ms)
Starting JS server...
Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && gradlew.bat installDebug)...

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'C:UsersuserSourcereactnativemyappnode_modulesreact-native-vector-iconsandroidbuild.gradle' line: 4

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-vector-icons'.
> Could not find method google() for arguments on repository container.

Installed versions:
"react": "16.3.1",
"react-native": "0.55.4",
"react-native-elements": "^0.19.1",
"react-native-vector-icons": "^6.0.2",

Can somebody help me?

Your best option is to either downgrade the vector-icons version or upgrade react-native + react versions.

Another option is to manually update your gradle and gradle-wrapper versions in the android project.

So update the gradle version in the top-level gradle file:

Usually located here: project_name/android/build.gradle

Change to:

dependencies 
 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

And also the gradle-wrapper:

Usually located here: project_name/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

Change to:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.2-all.zip

1. Uninstall vector-icons (remove wire-react-vector-icons-native)


2. Delete the folder node_modules


3. Then yarn install


4. Type this command yarn add react-native-vector-icons


5. Then this react-link native command react-native-vector-icons


6. Then this command reage-nactive run- android 7 then react-native start --reset-cache
   

These steps worked for me
