MANDATORY Reproducer

Hi @nikolllay! the coordinates you are looking at are wrong.

Starting from 0.83, we are publishing the Hermes artifacts to com.facebook.hermes: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.facebook.hermes/hermes-android/versions

Notice that React Native 0.83 is using Hermes 0.14.0

@nikolllay I'm having the same issue. How did you manage to change the repository? Thanks!
Oh I solved it, thanks!

Hi @withSang,
In android/build.gradle added:
allprojects { configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution { substitute module("com.facebook.react:hermes-android") using module("com.facebook.hermes:hermes-android:0.14.0") } } }

had the same problem, switched yarn from v4 to v1 and it worked, not sure if it was some kind of cache issue

Thank you a lot @nikolllay!! It turned out that some dependencies were still looking for com.facebook.react:hermes-android:0.83.0 :)
