Check the build.gradle of the dependent react-native-xxxx module and change the dependent gms andfirebase library's versions to the same.

The version of the gms library that is dependent on your app is currently 11.8.0, so change everything else to 11.8.0.

Check all modules to see the versions of gms andfirebase.

In some cases you may need to change the sdk versions of the react-native-device-info module. Since there are so many cases, write down my settings first.

app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    // ...
    // gms version is 11.8.0
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0" 
}

react-native-device-info/build.gradle: (It's my settings..)

buildscript {
    // set up the same version
    ext.firebaseVersion = '11.8.0'
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
