I have been trying to run a file that contain react-native-maps and react-native-google-places and getting the following error;

• The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
• and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
• These basically call react-native bundle with the correct arguments during the Android build
• cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
• bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
• and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the

• // whether to bundle JS and assets in another build variant (if configured).
• // See http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Build-Variants

I had the same issue. This is duplicate with #184

Please get on the latest version to support changes from Google, please see #198 to get started. Issues from Play Services are gone from the new SDK.
