> Task :react-native-maps:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-maps:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

the versions of my packages "react-native": "0.59.10", "react-native-maps": "0.26.1",

the dependencies in app/build.gradle file

dependencies {
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.0' 
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" // From node_modules
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"]) 
    compile project(':react-native-vector-icons') 
    compile project(':react-native-navigation')
    implementation(project(':react-native-maps')){
       exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
       exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
   }
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
}

I followed the installations instructions carefully but the build still failed. Any solution to this problem ?

try upgrading react native to a version 0.60+ and don't forget to unlink react native maps

I found the solution to my problem. First i add the following lines to ./android/gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

then adding jetifier will fix it

npm install --save-dev jetifier
npx jetify
npx react-native run-android

that fixed the problem for me.
