title: React Native Unable to find a matching configuration of project (Build only)
body: <p>My react native build works fine when running <code>react-native run-android</code> or <code>cd android &amp;&amp; ./gradlew assembleDebug</code>. But I'll get the following for all every react native package I have installed when running <code>./gradlew assembleRelease</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; Could not resolve project :react-native-fbsdk.

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Upon getting more details by running <code>./gradlew assembleRelease --info</code> I found that this message is printed for all of my problematic packages:</p>
  
  <pre><code>file or directory '/path/to/my/project/node_modules/react-native-fcm/android/libs', not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Looking in this folder, there is no "libs" folder, and settings.gradle does not tell it to point to a "libs" folder.</p>
  
  <pre><code>include ':react-native-fcm'
  project(':react-native-fcm').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-fcm/android')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Should something be generating this folder? I do have <code>compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])</code> in my app/build.gradle.</p>

  <p>Update: I created a clean project with react-native init and ran the build and it created the same problem, so I guess it's something specific to my environment or there is some kind of temporary problem with the dependencies.</p>
  
  <p>Update: Built everything on a Windows machine. Same problem.</p>
  
  <p>Update: I have been able to get certain versions of this working, but not the main project. It might be due to these warnings:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Configuration 'compile' in project ':react-native-code-push' is deprecated. Use 'implementation' instead.
  WARNING: The specified Android SDK Build Tools version (23.0.1) is ignored, as it is below the minimum supported version (26.0.2) for Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.1.
  Android SDK Build Tools 26.0.2 will be used.
  To suppress this warning, remove "buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'" from your build.gradle file, as each version of the Android Gradle Plugin now has a default version of the build tools.
