It is Probably because of JDK version as mention above. You can verify by running react native doctor

npx @react-native-community/cli doctor

This Shows Android SDK is missing (But I have installed Android Studio and it has Android SDK Too . Here is my Path for Android SDK(/Users/user/Library/Android/sdk) can you help what I can do next – Jatin Garg Apr 21 '20 at 06:15
@jatingarg can you tell me the SDK location shown from Android Studio. Also check the directory if you can see the tools folder or any other folders missing. Share me a screenshot of your Android SDK folder in your question – Allan Joseph Apr 21 '20 at 06:26
what is your java version ? just run java --version and share. few issues like this were also because of java issues [check here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35000729/android-studio-could-not-initialize-class-org-codehaus-groovy-runtime-invokerhel) and make sure you download particluar 28.0.3 SDk Tools from android studio using additional options. – RishabhRathod Apr 21 '20 at 20:12

Install JDK 1.8 and setup $JAVA_HOME env variable and try to run the app again.

The error is due to lower version of JDK or JDK not installed.

your problem can be resolved just follow these steps: To jetify / convert node_modules dependencies to AndroidX Imagine you have a react-native project. One of your library dependencies converts to AndroidX., and you need to use the new version.

So now you need to convert your app to AndroidX, but many of your react-native libraries ship native Java code and have not updated. How is this done?

First, use Android Studio's refactoring tool to convert your app re: the Android developer docs npm install --save-dev jetifier npx jetify npx react-native run-android (your app should correctly compile and work) Call npx jetify run in the postinstall target of your package.json (Any time your dependencies update you have to jetify again

you can follow this link as well: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jetifier

feel free for any confusion.

The error is due to the version of JDK or JDK not installed.

i think you need to solve in the section:

open the androind folder with android studio

then file-> project structure -> SDK location and in here you can change, in my case i change the version

before that, for to know what was the error:

i realized what is the problem with this command

npx @react-native-community/cli doctor

i got these errors:
