Build failed with an exception react native

Question

while running react-native run-android I am getting below exception... It was running fine and I made a git pull and did npm ci and after that, it is coming. There are no changes in the new pull also. In fact for after doing git colon that is also the same issue. And it's running well in MAC. Please help I am stuck.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

Add this to your app/build.gradle dependencies:

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0'
            force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0'
            force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9'
            force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:18.0.0'
    }
}

This basically forces your third party libraries(like deviceinfo) that depend on gcm, to use the 16.1.0 version.

I solved this

npm uninstall react-native-device-info

and then

npm install --save react-native-device-info

latest version should be 2.1.2
