Failed to list versions for com.facebook.react:react-native

[Stephen Collins]

With jCenter being sunset and currently having issues, I currently can't build my application due to some references in the project's gradle config.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':ostrichapp_react-native-radial-gradient:releaseCompileClasspath'.

From what I've read elsewhere this is fixable by updating the gradle config on your side, possibly even by bumping version with no real changes.
