Native React - VS Studio Code - npm run android - Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'

[yuezonglun]

Description

I have been getting this error when trying to run npm android build on my native react project. I have gone through the entire android setup along with updating Environment variables. The emulator works but the install fails with the following message:

`* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.

Try to delete the app from your phone and build again

@12ya Deleted it, but still have this problem

I was able to resolve by clearing caches using this awesome tool https://github.com/taboulot/rn-game-over

npx rn-game-over -a
npx rn-game-over -j

I first tried with built in clean tool (npx react-native clean) but it had no effect.

I encountered this bug when removing expo-dev-client package from the project.

Java heap space

This means you're running out of memory.
You can increase the max memory you're giving to the build process in your gradle.properties file:

react-native/packages/react-native/template/android/gradle.properties

Line 13 in 0cbd2a3

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m

[VNDRN]

npx rn-game-over -a
npx rn-game-over -j

This and rebooting my device worked for me!
