Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:12.0.1 when installing react-native-onesignal

Question

Been on this issue for days, trying every solution out there but nothing works, I get getting that error message when trying to run the projet on Android studio.

Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:12.0.1

/**
 * 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
 * `apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"` line.

I've removed this line of code inside my build.gradle file and it built successfully!

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
          def requested = details.requested
            if (requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms') {
              details.useVersion '12.0.1'
            }
            if (requested.group == 'com.google.firebase') {
              details.useVersion '12.0.1'
            }
          }
        }
