I had a very similar issue. Changing Gradle back to 4.2.1 will solve the issue. I think something you depend on is built with an older compileSdkVersion that doesn't work with newer Gradle versions.

I don't know if this is a proper solution, but I had the same problem and I solved it by adding 'app:' like this:
gradlew app:assembleRelease
Hope this helps :)

This error keeps on coming everytime i run react-native run-android after npm install

It seems that Gradle is looking for the specified libraries in your local storage.
Try adding the Google's Maven repository to your top-level build.gradle file.

Check if you have offline work on.
Go to:
File > Settings > write "offline" on the search bar > under Gradle, see if Offline Work is checked. If so, uncheck it.

but when I downgrade android gradle plugin to version 2.2.3,and buildToolsVersion to 23.0.1,It works well.

I have resolved this problem,It is because the proguard version is too low,if we update the gradle plugin,the version is greater than 2.3.0,we must use the proguard version 5.3.2 or higher,this is how to use the high proguard version,here is two solutions:
1.Add these code in build script method of your build.gradle file:
buildscript {
...
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'net.sf.proguard:proguard-gradle:5.3.3'
}
}
}
then,repackage.
2.To download proguard.jar by this link
.then,create a folder in root path of your project,put the jar in this folder,add these code in your build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
flatDir{dirs 'proguard'}
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
classpath ':proguard:'
}
}
then,repackage.

Why am I getting Execution error `Could not find property` bootClasspath

I'm getting this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':ProjectName:compileUniversalDebugJava'.
> Could not find property 'bootClasspath' on com.android.build.gradle.AppExtension_Decorated#26fd94a1.
Why is that?
I'm building Android app with gradle on Android Studio.

Apparently I had to update com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.10.+ instead of com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+. Here in my build.gradle:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.10.+'
...
}
