Command failed: gradlew.bat installDebug

Question

While developing an app I came into following error. I tried downgrading the java version from 11 to 8, but that wasn\'t helpful.

FAILURE: Build failed with          


        

Answer 1

Try running this command inside your project file

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res 

after that

cd (path to project/android folder) && gradlew clean && cd .. && react-native run-android

always gradlew clean before run react-native-run-android the above command basically cleans up the gradle and previous builds.

for ENOENT Error Check if $ yarn start works. The metro bundler wasn't able to run on port 8081 for me and I needed to run $ killall node

EDIT:

Also update the gradle-wrapper.properties add

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.2.1-all.zip

remove following code from build.gradle:

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
   gradleVersion = '5.2.1'
   distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}

after that

cd (path to project/android folder) && gradlew clean && cd .. && react-native run-android

always gradlew clean before run react-native-run-android the above command basically cleans up the gradle and previous builds.

You're good to go!
