Ahh, so is there a flag I need to add so that it runs installDevDebug or one of the other flavors?

By the way I just did a ./gradlew installDevDebug and that built successfully.

Ha! I just ran react-native run-android --variant=DevDebug and it also built successfully!

@dulmandakh , thank you for walking me through this. You shed light on some details I was not aware of.

Hey there!

I have solved this problem You just need to make 1 file in Android Folder so

Go android folder

Make file local.properties

then just add this code in local.properties file:-

If MacBook then sdk.dir=/Users/username/Library/android/sdk

if Windows then sdk.dir=C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

if Linux then sdk.dir = /home/USERNAME/Android/sdk

if you want to know what is your system USERNAME then just use command for Mac whoami

and then just rerun command react-native run-android

Thanks 😃
