I have a sample from Gaelyk (called Bloogie) and it is using gradlew.
I am behind a proxy.
I\'ve read gradle docs and found this:
gradle.properties>
After lots of struggling with this and banging my head against a wall, because nothing on my system was using a proxy: it turned out that my ** Android Emulator instance ** itself was secretly/silently setting a proxy for me via Android Emulator > Settings > Proxy and had applied these settings when playing around with it weeks earlier in order to troubleshoot an issue with Expo.
If anyone is having this issue, make sure you check 100% to see if indeed no custom proxy settings are being used via: ./gradlew installDebug --info --debug --stacktrace and searching for proxyHost in the log output to make sure of this. It may be your emulator.
