You can come across aapt: error: resource android:attr/colorerror not found. error while building your react native Android app or while generating APK file from your React Native project. This issue occurs when third-party libraries use compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion less than 26.
You can solve this react native issue by forcing sub-projects to use SDK version greater than 26. Just open android/build.gradle file and add the following code inside allprojects tag.
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
}
//add the folllowing lines to force libs to use recent buildtools
subprojects {
afterEvaluate {
project ->
if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
android {
compileSdkVersion = 27
buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
}
}
}
}
}
