^{Originally posted by **DEveL0perLuckY** October 14, 2024} ### Problem Description I am facing issues while creating a fresh React Native project. The error occurs during the autolinking process: ``` ERROR: autolinkLibrariesFromCommand: process cmd /c npx @react-native-community/cli config exited with error code: 1 ``` This error appears when running the project, and the build fails with the following details: **Settings file:** `C:\Users\lucky\Desktop\HealthCare\android\settings.gradle` (line: 3) **Error Message:** ``` FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Settings file 'C:\Users\lucky\Desktop\HealthCare\android\settings.gradle' line: 3 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating settings 'android'. > ERROR: autolinkLibrariesFromCommand: process cmd /c npx @react-native-community/cli config exited with error code: 1 * Try: > Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. > Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. > Run with --scan to get full insights. > Get more help at https://help.gradle.org. BUILD FAILED in 14s info Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details. ``` ### Attempts to Resolve the Issue 1. **Tried Using an Older Version:** - When using an older version of React Native, I encountered a similar issue: ``` :ReactNative:Running '[node, C:\Users\lucky\Desktop\newproject\node_modules\@react-native-community\cli\build\bin.js, config]' command failed. FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Script 'C:\Users\lucky\Desktop\newproject\node_modules\@react-native-community\cli-platform-android\native_modules.gradle' line: 401 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating script. > Process 'command 'node'' finished with non-zero exit value 1 BUILD FAILED in 8s ``` 2. **Development Environment Setup:** - I have verified my development environment setup using: ``` npx react-native doctor ``` - No major issues were found with the setup. ### Additional Details - **React Native Version:** Tried with both v0.74.2 and v0.75.4 - **Error on Latest Version:** The same error (`autolinkLibrariesFromCommand` failure) occurs on the latest version. - **OS:** Windows Any suggestions for resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Use expo, react native cli is dead!
