Caveat

If your react-native version is below 0.57, you need to update your android gradle.

First, modify your android/build.gradle

buildscript {
+    ext {
+        buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
+        minSdkVersion = 16
+        compileSdkVersion = 27
+        targetSdkVersion = 26
+        supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
+    }

    repositories {
+        google()
         jcenter()
-        maven {
-            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
-            name 'Google'
-        }
    }

    dependencies {
-        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
+        // make sure your gardle version here is equal or greater than 3.1.4
+        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
         mavenLocal()
+        google()
         jcenter()
         maven {
             url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
         }
-        maven {
-            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
-            name 'Google'
-        }
    }
}

-ext {
-    buildToolsVersion = "26.0.3"
-    minSdkVersion = 16
-    compileSdkVersion = 26
-    targetSdkVersion = 26
-    supportLibVersion = "26.1.0"
-}


+task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
+    gradleVersion = '4.4'
+    distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
+}

Second, modify android/gradle/wrapper.gradle-wrapper.properties, make sure the gradle distribution is equal or greater than 4.4
