Here, setting checkReleaseBuilds to false prevents lint checks from running during the release build, and abortOnError set to false ensures that the build will continue even if lint errors are found.

Step 2: Sync and Rebuild the Project

After making changes to your build.gradle file, ensure you sync your project with the Gradle files and rebuild your project:

In Android Studio, click on File > Sync Project with Gradle Files.

Then, rebuild the project by selecting Build > Rebuild Project.

Conclusion

By adjusting the lintOptions in your build.gradle file, you can effectively bypass the 'Could Not Determine Dependencies' error and proceed with your Android build in React Native. This issue, while common, can be resolved quickly through simple configuration changes.

If you continue to face difficulties, ensuring all libraries and dependencies are up-to-date can also contribute to a smoother development experience.
