I have a react-native app which has below dependencies.

"react-native-maps": "^1.15.1",
"react": "17.0.2",
"react-native": "^0.68.0",

when I try to run this app using react-native run-android, I get below error saying package com.airbnb.android.react.maps does not exist but I installed this package using npm/yarn.

I’m not sure why I’m getting this error and I’m not able to resolve this.

I’m using below version of gradle and andorid gradle plugin

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.4-all.zip

classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.3.1")

Can anyone please help me with this? I have tried all that I could find but nothing worked. Been stuck on this for days.

I tried some ways to fix this like by adding implementation line in dependencies but nothing worked

implementation project(':react-native-maps')
