Could not find method google() for arguments [] on repository container.

[PasinduDineth]

Hi all, I am having this error after i install react native camera. Can anyone help me. I have changed build.gradle dependency classpath to 3 also. But nothing is working. Any ideas? error - A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-camera'.

Could not find method google() for arguments [] on repository container.

[eefret]

Also got this last night, probably something related to the gradle version

[PasinduDineth]

@hendradedis @eefret this is a problem of react-native-camera. since qrcode-scanner use react-native-camera, it will effect to qrcode-scanner also. i hope qrcode-scanner people can give us a answer. and keep your eye on this issue also. i made an issue in react-naive-camera also.. https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/issues/1530

I was able to resolve the issue by following instructions in these two comments: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/issues/1530#issuecomment-385752864 https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/issues/1530#issuecomment-386572593

Hi I solve this issue: update the code in Android/App/Build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript { repositories { jcenter() google() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

}

allprojects { repositories { mavenLocal() jcenter() maven { // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android" } maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } google() } }

subprojects { project.configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details -> if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support' && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ){ details.useVersion "27.1.0" } } } }

Also Update Android/App/src/build.gradle

apply plugin: "com.android.application"

import com.android.build.OutputFile

/**

• The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
• and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
• These basically call react-native bundle with the correct arguments during the Android build
• cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
• bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
• and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
• apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle" line.

Also one more file

Android/App/gradle/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

================

Than it will solve

You should open folder android on Android Studio then you only click upgrade build.gradle in log, It auto fix. I also tried

[anton6]

Managed to resolve this from @gornostal comment. This issue should probably be closed since it's not related to this module?
