Hi,

but when I create a new project as the follwoing:

react-native init AwesomeProject
cd AwesomeProject
react-native run-android
I got an error as the below image

windows 10
jdk8
node version v10.7.0
react-native-cli: 2.0.1

I tried everything recommended on internet, nothing is working. I am totally stuck on it. Please help.

same problem

[hdamis]

it is a bug in react-native version 56.0
so resolve this problem you have to edit package.josn and change the version of react native as below:
"react-native": "^0.55.4",
and in android\app\build.gradle add
dependencies {
…
...
compile ("com.facebook.react:react-native:0.55.4") { force = true }
}

delete node_modules

npm install --save-dev babel-preset-react-native@2.1.0
npm install
Hope this will help you ….

@hdamis I tried your solution but it doesn;t work.

here is what it says after I run react-native run-android

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

edite app.json to solve this problem:
{
"expo": {
"sdkVersion": "23.0.0" // your device android sdk ver!
}
}

I'm having the same issue, and also the same issue following hdamis' advice. Isaac, your suggestion does not work for me.

[bradrar]

Isaac, still not working. but thanks for commenting.

[NicWickman]

bradrar, I am on to new errors now but I just resolved this particular 500 error in the following way:

delete node_modules folder
clean npm cache
change react-native version to 0.55.4 in packages.json
npm install

[hermanomark]

I'm having the same issue tried solution above still not working!

[NicWickman]

This looks like an ongoing issue. I'm avoiding it by now for running a react project initialized on 0.55.4

[hermanomark]

I found a workaroud from here: #401

• Delete node_modules folder
• In package.json, changed react-native version "react-native": "0.55.2" and babel "babel-preset-react-native": "4"
• Run yarn install or npm install
• Finally run react-native run-android

[blank9987]

hermanomark thanks bro.... its working...

[behzadkhodapanah]

hello , fast solution is :
1 - delete node_modules folder
2 - edit package json : react-native version to "55.4" or "55.2" and babel-preset-react-native to "4.0.0"
3 - run npm install or yarn install command
4 - you're done 👍

[jerrychong25]

[MuhammadUsman786786]

[osnersanchez]

I had the same problem, and solve it with the suggested by @qweasdzxc23, but ¿I would like to know why this problem occurs and what is the reason for this solution?

[ZubairAkber]

Thanks @qweasdzxc23 @hermanomark @NicWickman your solution really works

[venkataramanaj]

I am also getting same issue, I tried many ways, but didn't work

[AllStackDev1]

But why should we do all this.. can't the react guy fix this issues from their end also react v 56.0 is having issues too

[NicWickman]

React 57 is supposed to fix the issue, but I'm unwilling to risk updating to find out.

[jonatslab]

I tried all the ways you said. The error still persists.

@juliocmalvares if all the solutions didn't work for you. You can initialized a new project with a specific version => $ react-native init newproject --version react-native@0.55.4
