* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

This is because your classpath build tools in build.gradle root project is deprecated. Update it like this
buildscript { repositories { google() mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0' }
}and after that update your minimum sdk and build tools to latest and no problem again
4I encountered this error while running the following command in macOS
./gradlew assembleRelease --stacktraceand got the exact error posted. I solved the problem by setting $JAVA_HOME environment variable to your JDK installation. In my case I used the bundled JDK in Android Studio for macOS:
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android "for Windows, just add JAVA_HOME to your user or system variables pointing to
"C://Program Files/Java/jdk_1.x_"folder and try running react-native run-android again.
5This will resolve issue to follow below steps:
1) Change Project level Gradle version build.gradle
Earlier version name like
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2'
Change with new version or latest version you have
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.1'
2) Change gradle-wrapper.properties from \gradle\wrapper
Earlier version name like
distributionUrl=https\://
Change with new version or latest version you have
distributionUrl=https\://
This is a problem with JDK version 9. Android tools does not support building with Java 9 officially yet. And it has such problems.
Downgrading to Java version 8 will fix the problem.
1On Ubuntu 18.04, this fixed the problem.
Run this command
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdkAdd this to
~/.bashrcexport JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"Restart your terminal or IDE.
Fixed the error by adding the following in .bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_171.jdk/Contents/Home
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/saif-ams/MyFiles/applications/androidsdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools The possible reason is the Gradle 's version and JDK's version is not matched.
At begin, My computer's gradle version is 4.10.1 and JDK is 12.
My solution is:
Download JDK 1.8 from oracle's website, set JAVA_HOME with JDK8 and It done
1Replace jcenter() with google()
and
mavenCentral()
in project level gradle file
According to the log, add the google() repository to the build.gradle file in the app directory as shown below:
allprojects { repositories { mavenCentral() google() jcenter() }
}
