I am trying to do my first react-native run-android but I get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

My build.gradle file is this: 

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 27
        targetSdkVersion = 26
        supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
    }
    repositories {
        // mavenCentral()

        google()
        // maven {
        //     url "https://maven.google.com"
        // }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
    }
}


task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.4'
    distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}

As you can see from the commented out lines, I have tried multiple combinations based to former answers here

The common denominator of every error message is the

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

I have also tried cd android/ && gradlew clean, and I have also tried changing gradle versions to classpath. All with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Ran into this myself.

The android getting started documents aren't quite right.

Instead of installing Android 8.0 & SDK Platform 26.0.3, choose Android 8.1 & 27.0.3

Note this is for React-Native 0.57.3

Actually, I was able to get past my problem, by uninstalling and re-installing everything (java jdk, react-native-cli, android-studio, watchman).

It probably was a java issue, because on my first react-native setup, I mistakenly installed java-jdk-11, which is not compatible with android sdk that react-native depends on, and java-jdk-8 is needed instead (as mentioned here, for example). But when I downgraded to jdk-8 with all the other stuff already installed, it wasn't working, due to some certification related issue, that I couldn't fix as suggested elsewhere.

So I did a fresh start, after uninstalling everything, starting from java-jdk-8, then react-native-cli, and everything else, as documented in the react-native official "Getting started" guide. Then it it worked, without altering build.gradle file at all.

It is sad that the official guide says: "Download and install Oracle JDK 8 or newer if needed. You can also use OpenJDK 8 or newer as an alternative", which, as it seems, is not the case.

Ok I bumped into this error and i was able to solve it, don't know if it's the right way, buh it solved my problem.

your app/build.gradle should look like this!!

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        ndk {
            abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
        }
    }
}


dependencies {
   ...
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.0"
   .....
}

I solve this error by this:

Project.gradle:

buildscript {

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'


    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

}

app.gradle:

android {

compileSdkVersion 26
defaultConfig {
  ...
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 26
  ...
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

}

dependencies {

implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'

}

gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

i think the gradle tools of 3.2.1 and gradle-4.6-all.zip ara not match yet.

I have achieved like this:

  1. Open a new Product in Android Studio .
  2. Upgrade the gradle completely and
  3. then try react-native run-android . Worked for me .
