Did you add google() repo in your android/build.gradle ?

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

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

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

I didn't, then I followed this thread react-native-community/react-native-svg/issues/584 which suggests the same thing you said. Apparently I have to update my projects gradle wrapper, unfortunately this causes conflicts with a few other installed packages.
