Android Can't Build: appcompat-v7 AAPT: error: resource android:attr/fontVariationSettings not found.

Issue
I know there is an recent issue from the new google api update. But I can seem to figure this out after many hours of debugging. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.59 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "Resolution: Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running `react-native info` on a project using the latest release.

In this post I found the solution:
https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/firebase-app-unable-to-compile-on-android-with-aapt-error/166564/6

[Darwin-Li]

I think I finally got it. I called ./gradlew app:dependencies and made sure that every single library from https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases#june_17_2019 was that being used was using the version that was not updated recently
