I upgraded RN to 0.56 from 0.55.4, gradle to 4.4 from 3.5, build tools to 3.1.0 from 2.3.0

I run some thing to generate signed apk.
./gradlew clean assembleRelease

I got error.

Seems like react-native-maps have a different dependenc of com.android.support:support-v4. You should check react-native-maps gradle files and maybe ask there.
