react-native run-android: daemon startup failed

[deFries]

Hello,

running windows 10
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native 0.59.5

I have been fighting the last couple of days with an issue that I can not put my finger on where to start.

Doing the "react-native run-android" i get the following:

C:\Git\react-native\rn_test_setup>react-native run-android
info Starting JS server...

I guess it has something to do with the "daemon start fail". When i try and do "adb devices" the adb.exe appear for a very short time in my taskbar, then shut down again - the "adc kill-server" and "adb start-server" does the same. Running as admin in a command prompt does the same. However, if i run it in a powershell, adb server starts up and i can see the list of devices and emulators - react native can still not deploy on them.

I feel like I am overlooking something.....anyone got an idea?

Hi,

That's a problem with gradle plugin version 3.3 that doesn't handle resources that are large. It has been resolved in gradle plugin version 3.4 but the release build is not including the js code in the assets folder. Investigating...

[mmtmn]

hm, hi. I'm new to React-Native.

I ran in into the same problem, what worked for me was deleting:

app\build\intermediates\signing_config

as in the folder app\build\intermediates\signing_config\debug\out there was no "\signing-config.json"

ANYWAY, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THAT WORKS? WHY DOES THIS SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

Will deleting this folder cause my project any troubles? WHy does my app go blank when I turn on Debug JS Remotly?

[mmtmn]

Ok, so weirdest thing happen: The folder came back to its original place after a few "react-native run-android" commands and the build failled.

This time the folder DID have the file "\signing-config.json" in the folder "app\build\intermediates\signing_config\debug\out".

And the folder I deleted a few minutes ago is still in the trash bin. Weird to say the least.

Anyways, I deleted the file and all went well. Thank you for this thread. Also, I'd love for anyone to respond some of the questions I asked in the comment before, thank you!

Thanks

[romenkova]

In my case there is no signing-config.json in out dir, it was empty so I just deleted build (app\build) folder and It solved the problem.
react-native run-android creates a build folder that works.

[Grohden]

I think I know what might have caused this problem for me.

I reinstalled my windows OS, but I keept my project files from my old windows system in a separated partition. Before reinstalling the system everything was working, but after that I got these permission issues. I also could not change the file permission (signing-config.json) through windows UI.

So I think that this problem is related to something about old windows permissions being keept on these files (not sure why only those tho).
Btw, my solution was also delete the app/build folder since it is just entirely generated with the correct permissions.

[carresed]

delete the all folder worked for me
\app\build\intermediates\signing_config
@mmtmn thanks!

[rohitiglas]

Check the .APK file in your release/Debug folder .Remove it and clean the build.

[MarlonX19]

I dont have the app\build... folders either!

I just cant get any new project to run since last night due to that error. All of my older projects run properly, the new ones don't! I seriously have no idea what to do, I've tried all the suggestions I have found and none worked.

[AliHasnainRizvi]

@waqaramjad @MarlonX19 I had the same problem, apparently updating node worked for me!

Can you help me?

How to check the .APK? Can you help me check it?

8. Button Find Now
9. **Now you have to find your user in the list
10. Click Ok and Ok again
11. **Select Full control in the check box and then click OK
12. Now try open this file in Vscode, if this opened the permisions have changed
13. Now try run your app again
