Have you seen this? expo/create-react-native-app#478

[thidasapankaja]

@ThHareau Yes. I followed that and installed JDK8 and set it as the default JDK. But I got the same error. Then I searched Stackoverflow and followed this as it says the error is because of 2 JDKs installed in the machine, I removed JDK9. But still I'm getting the error.

[ThHareau]

It worked for me, I can really help you more :S

[thidasapankaja]

Thanks @ThHareau then I think it's with JDK 9. I just removed JDK 9 using sudo rm -rf jdk-9 which was in my /usr/lib/jvm folder and I've already set jdk 8 as the default jdk by following previously mentioned issue. Still I'm getting the error.

[thidasapankaja]

Fixed by completely removing both JDKs and reinstalling JDK 8
