This is the full error. The command I've used to create the project is npx @react-native-community/cli init TodoApp2 --directory ./native-cli-todo-app-2. The projects is created successfully. After I run npm run start and hit a, for android, build fails showing the above error. Another project which uses 0.74.3 is working just fine. Creating new project automatically uses 0.75.2 version which is fine, but it shows the error while building because of which development server doesn't start.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create the project files with npx @react-native-community/cli init ProjectName --directory ../ProjectDirectory
2. After project files are created successfully, hit npm run start and Metro asks where to run, since i want to run it on android, I hit a
3. Then the error shows up.

Could you remove this folder:

F:\tutorial-practice\frontend-development\react-native\native-cli-todo-app-2\android\.gradle

and try again?

No Luck, sir @cortinico . The issue still persists. However I believe I've found, let's say, a hack. If I go npm run android on the VSCode terminal, along with the terminal it also opens command prompt automatically. The VSCode terminal shows error, but the command prompt terminal successfully runs development. Then I close the command prompt terminal. Stop the development server on the VSCode Terminal, clear the terminal and hit npm run start and then a. Now the app is successfully installed on my device without any error.

I create another app, and I've to do the same. And that's one tedious process.

[Ricardo-Veiga-Lemes]

I have the same problem. The "hack" didn't work for me.

[adhikarisandil32]

I have the same problem. The "hack" didn't work for me.

.I'm using it on my actual real device. May be you could also try that on actual device. @Ricardo-Veiga-Lemes

[ramilqO]

I solve this problem with npm run android

[Ricardo-Veiga-Lemes]

In all cases I have to press "a" to run android. When I run "npm run android" it opens the Windows terminal, but there I also have to press "a" to continue and then the same error returns.

[adhikarisandil32]

@Ricardo-Veiga-Lemes I'm using my real device. Are you using it too ? Also, why don't you delete the project and start a new completely new form the command npx @react-native-community/cli init ProjectName --directory ../DirectoryName not on the VSCode terminal but on windows terminal. And then open up the directory containinig project files, hit npm run android first, do as it says. Exit the windows terminal, stop the vscode terminal server, clear the console and hit npm run start and do as it says.

As I can see, your react-native project uses 0.75.1, but mine uses 0.75.2, the latest one I guess. And if nothing works, try creating an app with expo.

Roll back versions: 0.75.2 to 0.75.1

@react-native/gradle-plugin react-native @react-native/babel-preset @react-native/eslint-config @react-native/metro-config @react-native/typescript-config

*Don't run npm/yarn fix, it updates without permission and becomes incompatible

Thanks, it worked for me. I just changed the entries in the package.json file.
