'Cannot resolve symbol 'build' on line import com.android.build.OutputFile in app/build.gradle
So I just created a react native project using the command
react-native init "project-name"
I went into the app level build.gradle to connect firebase and I had an error saying could not resolve symbol 'android' on the line
import com.android.build.OutputFile
However, it popped up saying "android framework is detected in the project click to configure" so I did this, but then it said cannot resolve symbol 'build' on the same line, I have no idea why it's saying this as I have made the project the same way before and never had this problem, any ideas?
Solution 1:[1]
In my case I was able to solve this by following those steps:
- Comment out the line like this:
// import com.android.build.OutputFile - Sync the project (click "Sync now")
- Comment in the line again like this:
import com.android.build.OutputFile - Sync again.
This might not work for everybody. In my case said import worked until I changed something somewhere in the project and suddenly the import failed. If the import never worked for you, this might not be the solution, but otherwise worth a try.

the thing that worked for me was
1- replace this line in build.gradle(:app)
def abi = output.getFilter(OutputFile.ABI)
with:
def abi = output.getFilter(com.android.build.OutputFile.ABI)
2- and click on sync project with gradle files (the elephant with blue arrow)

Try double click on build word in your code such as Build.VERSION, not in the import com.android.build.OutputFile. then if it show press ALT + Enter, you should do it.

Change the classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1' to 3.4.2 in your package build.gradle file
For me, i was using
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1'
Then i have just changed the version to 3.4.2 an the problem was fixed.

if you want to find the exact problem, go to the android folder and assembleRelease using cmd:
cd android
gradlew assembleRelease
my problem was with the crashlytics package that was needing another version of the react-native-firebase/app package
installing the recommended version solved my problem

Be sure you have classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0' in the dependencies block of your app level build.gradle file.
