This is a new installation on a RN 0.62.2 and Nodejs 12.18.0. After yarn add react-native-keychain, the app launch of npx react-native run-android failed with the error:

compileSdkVersion = 28

Changed to 29 in above seems working.

Changed to 29 in above seems working.

I have changes it already in my build.gradle file. But still the same error is coming.

Any luck with this? I am using API version 30 and have tried on version 29 with no success.

Add to the last (after allprojects) android/build.gradle will work

allprojects {
  ...
}

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {
        project ->
            if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
                android {
                    compileSdkVersion = 29
                    buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
                }
            }
    }
}

Can confirm, @sieuhuflit solution works after updating to RN 0.64.0
