Gradle Integration 
This is best done in Android Studio but if not installed can be done by looking at the android folder of your react native project 
1. In your root-level (project-level) Gradle file (build.gradle), add rules to include the Maven Central repository.
buildscript {​    
        repositories {        
        mavenCentral() // add the maven central repository
        maven {
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
          }
   }
}
2. In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle), apply the Smile ID android plugin:
apply plugin: 'com.smileidentity.smile-id-android'
3. Declare the Smile ID android SDK in your root level Gradle file (usually build.gradle).
dependencies {  
classpath group: 'com.smileidentity', name: 'smile-id-android', version: '1.0.1'
}
