  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "16.6.3",

If you have WINDOWS machine, please follow these steps:

Optional (
  Delete iOS, Android folders

  Run `react-native eject` ( that command will rebuild deleted folders for you )
)

Then :

1) cd ./android

2) ./gradlew.bat installDebug ( with dot at the beggining )

Once it's successfully finished

3) cd ../ ( go back to root folder )

4) react-native run-android

And fingers crossed for it to work as expected :) [for me it does]

I had the same issue today... Wondering if you solved it?

go to android folder then settings.gradle file

You may find it on line 3

'..\node_modules\react-native-gesture-handler\android'

and replace all these backward slashes with forward like this

'../node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/android'

Let me know if this helps...

cd ./android
create file file local.properties

then past this code sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\muhammad ali\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk change location to as per your sdk is located Done. you already have local.properties file good. find similar file of code sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\muhammad ali\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk change location to as per your sdk is located Done.

I got this same issue in when creating splash screen set to the MainActivity.java. Then I downgrade the react native version (0.59.8). I didn't change the gradle version.

Solution 6:^[6]

To solve this issue just change the compileSdkVersion in your build.gradle file.

Open android > build.gradle file. Change compileSdkVersion from 29 to 30. Change targetSdkVersion from 29 to 30. now run again.

/if this not working then checkout this link

I had the same problem and used unusual solution but is helped me. after create your react-native project, open android folder by android studio, it will config your gradle Correctly and then you can run your app on simulator
