Android - Could not find com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.11.4.

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am recently using this library in my RN project. It works fine in iOS devices, but when comes to android, I can’t build success. Here is the error log.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.

Worked for me with RN 0.67.2.

I was able to fix this by adding the line jcenter() to android/build.gradle (rather than android/app/build.gradle). Here is the context:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }
        mavenCentral {
            // We don't want to fetch react-native from Maven Central as there are
            // older versions over there.
            content {
                excludeGroup "com.facebook.react"
            }
        }
        google()
        // I ADDED THE NEXT LINE:
        jcenter() 
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
        maven {
            // expo-camera bundles a custom com.google.android:cameraview
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/expo-camera/android/maven"
        }
    }
}

To prevent this from conflicting with marvenCentral it’s better to add the following to android/app/build.gradle under

allprojects { 
  repositories {
  
  // Add jcenter **********

  jcenter() {
            content {
                includeGroup("com.google.android.exoplayer")
            }
        }

  // **********
      
    }
}
