React Native : target with hash string 'android-X' not found

Question

I am trying to develop my first react-native Android app. When I run

sudo react-native run-android

I get the following error

Answer 1

Your $ANDROID_HOME should point to /usr/local/android-sdk and it would be the parent directory of platforms and platform-tools

Gradle will try to locate tools dir in the following location: $ANDROID_HOME/platform/android-23 so verify that you have your tools installed there if the android-23 folder is not present inside $ANDROID_HOME/platform/ , please install Android 6.0 (API23)
