Fix: React Native App error: "Task :app:processDebugMainManifest FAILED" with jdk17

Question

I had problems setting up the updated environment for app development with RN.

openjdk version "17.0.1" / node 16+

If you're having the same problem, here's how to solve it:

Error Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugMainManifest'.

For java 16 or 17, just add line in /android/gradle.properties

it took me a while to get to this direct answer, everything from react-native is hard to find.

I'm use jdk16, and just add line in /android/gradle.properties works!

Follow this answer i gave a few days ago: https://stackoverflow.com/a/71007143/15421728

React Native and Gradle Version supported by the latest version of React Native does not support JDK below 11 and above 11.

You need go to Android Studio and download the Temurin/OpenJDK 11 or Azul 11 depending upon your system arch (if you are on the new M1 Mac you will need to download the aarch version).

clean and rebuilding should work after that.
