Cannot install a Android library which is deployed in Github Packages.

Description

I have published my android library with access control.

I tried to install it in a sample React Native CLI project it is working fine.

But i tried to install the same android library in "create-react-native-library" project.

I am getting the below error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:processDebugResources'.

  Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'. Could not find com..android:sdk:0.0.4. Searched in the following locations:

Repositories should be included in the app's build.gradle file, which means example/android/app/build.gradle for your repo and android/app/build.gradle for consumers.

May I ask why ? And my requirement is to wrap up native android sdk with react native library for React Native support.

Because that's how it works on Android.

Android uses Gradle build system. You need to do it how it works on Gradle on Android. We don't determine how it works. You'll need to ask Gradle developers to add this feature.
