react-native android error: package does not exist

I am new to react-native and I have to do the support on an app.
I can’t compile it on Android. I get an error while building it either by command line or from the android studio.
My configuration :

error: failed linking file resources.
This error is also unpredictable, sometimes after clearing cache it passes the build.

I don’t know why this happens, exactly. But I do know that removing the offending linked packages (note that links only apply RN < 0.69.0) from android/settings.gradle fixes it.
e.g. remove these lines (in the example given)
include ':#promotedai_react-native-metrics'
project(':#promotedai_react-native-metrics').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/#promotedai/react-native-metrics/android')
While I was debugging this, I also found some useful solutions to the errors mentioned. They may be useful:
Argfile not found
Try
cd android
./gradlew clean
Incompatible Kotlin Version
If you notice in the above errors it says The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.1.15 but 1.1.15 is not a valid version of Kotlin. So if you override that with a valid version it’ll fix the issue. Try applying it project wide first (android/build.gradle)
buildScript {
ext {
kotlinVersion = “1.6.0”
}
}
If that has issues, then you can override it directly in the dependency and then save those changes with patch-package
failed linking file resources
In some cases you may see error: resource android:attr/lStar not found. In that case, see Saurabh’s suggestion or this video I found useful.

Execution failed for task ':react-native-reanimated:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

Although this question has been asked by others, none of the provided solutions work for my use case.

The REALLY odd fact is that NO ONE else on my team experiences this problem whether using Apple M1 or Intel Macs. I have exhausted every resource I've found searching for a solution.
Please ask if you need more info. This is a critical blocker for my project work.

I am not able to make PDF in ANDROID API LEVEL 29. It is working fine in API LEVEL 28.
So I downgraded RN version from 0.63.2 from 0.62.2 and Gradle 3.5.3 to 3.5.2
according to this issue https://github.com/christopherdro/react-native-html-to-pdf/issues/189
also followed https://github.com/christopherdro/react-native-html-to-pdf/issues/149
this too. It says Permission error so inside componentDidMount() I have added following line
PermissionsAndroid.request(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
But still no luck.
I am getting following error.

I found solution from this link
If you find out that your app is not able to make any file or folder you should add
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" in your `<application>` in `AndroidManifest.xml`
for more details Official Link and Other StackOverflow Question Answsers
Remember: I am using React Native and only in Android API 29 and above I stuck in this issue.

I was also facing that problem, after some researching, I solve that problem,
"Directory name must be same as the directory(folder) present in you device, if you want to make custom directory then it may or may not work in you device because of the file structure or some native permission if custom directory name not work then you have to specify 'Documents' or 'Download' at directory option"
Note:
Example:
async createPDF() {
let options = {
html: '<h1>Export PDF</h1>',
fileName: 'MyPdf',
directory: 'Documents', //or Download
};
let file = await RNHTMLtoPDF.convert(options)
alert(file.filePath);
}

React Native Error: TypeError: null is not an object _RNGestureHandlerModule.default.Direction

I have tried many ways to fix this error but all attempts have failed.
FOR ANDROID NOT IOS.
_RNGestureHandlerModule.default.Direction
I was trying for android. I found bug react-native-gesture-handler buy I don't know how to fix it.
I am following this instruction step by step https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/getting-started.html
I tried linking the react-native-gesture-handler manual. and also tried unlinked.
I made react-native.config.js with code
exports = {
dependencies: {
'react-native-gesture-handler': {
platforms: {
android: null,
ios: null,
},
},
},
};

Just simply you should comment line :
// export { default as Directions } from './Directions';
in the your project -> node_modules -> react-native-gesture-handler -> GestureHandler.js
I think it hope help you

Please try with
Pod update
It's working for me
