Build failure (package android.support.annotation does not exist)

Hello,

I've just started a new react native project from scratch and just added this library regarding to the readme. Unfortunately it won't build now anymore because of following error:

BUILD FAILED in 4s

Error: Command failed: ./gradlew app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081

My package.json:

{
  "name": "poc",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-native start",
    "test": "jest",
    "lint": "eslint ."
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "16.8.6",
    "react-native": "0.60.0",

  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.5.4",
    "@babel/runtime": "^7.5.4",

    "jest": "^24.8.0",
    "metro-react-native-babel-preset": "^0.55.0",
    "react-test-renderer": "16.8.6"
  },
  "jest": {
    "preset": "react-native"
  }
}

settings.gradle:

rootProject.name = 'poc'
include ':react-native-ssl-pinning'
project(':react-native-ssl-pinning').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-ssl-pinning/android')
apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)
include ':app'

android/build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1")

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

My android/app/build.gradle is the default generated one as well. Just added the library depencdency declaration:

...
dependencies {
    implementation project(':react-native-ssl-pinning')
    ...
}

gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

I've found other threads with similar errors which suggested changing useAndroidX and enableJetifier to false: unfortunately this won't help here.

Any help is appreciated.
