React native android on Windows: Task :app:generateDebugBuildConfig FAILED

I am trying to run an app on an Android emulator. After following the instructions in the React Native docs for installing Android Studio and setting the environment variables, I can create the default project, AwesomeProject, with "npx react-native init" but I cannot run it.
Keep failing the task
:app:generateDebugBuildConfig
I found several posts about this but none of them with the exception
Execution timed out
** Update
Tried ./gradlew clean & react-native run-android --port=8082
the error message:

Cleaning of caches didn't help.

As you said a solution is to invalidate the cache, and that's actually the only solution I know of.
Just make sure the JVM is closed before opening Android Studio again. There's a chance that JVM is stuck and prevents a dex file from deletion. So, what I'd suggest the following steps:
Open Task Manager, then do "End task" to all JVM you find (most likely it's java.exe) OR restart PC
Open Android Studio, then do "Invalidate cache and restart" OR delete the cache files manually.

Thanks for your time!

this is a multiDex issue. as you can see here in the stack trace Learn how to resolve this issue at https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
Add the following in the defaultConfig section of your android/app/build.gradle
multiDexEnabled true
And under the dependencies add the following
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
This will enable multidex support.

Stack overflow Question
Medium explaining

First of all what you proposed is working!
But is it possible to change the settings in the file android/app/build.gradle
defaultConfig {
// TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
applicationId "com.example.flutter_course"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
versionName flutterVersionName
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
multiDexEnabled true
and change the minSdkVersion 16 to 21?
And where can I find the latest version of minSdkVersion, so I can keep it up to date?
Thank you for your help!

Build "compilation error" but the inspector picks up nothing

I've been stuck for a few hours, and can't get it released.
It gives me the regular Compilation error. See log for more details
Usually I'd be finding an error in the code somewhere, or just run the inspector on the app module and it picks up the error, and after it's fixed, the build works.
This time, neither I or the inspector pick up any errors in the code.
It happened after I tried to integrate Algolia. But I've tried to revert all the I've done and the error persists. How to I get out of it?
Edit: I see now the kotlin compiler gives me errors. It says for a few functions:
Calls to static methods in Java interfaces are prohibited in JVM target 1.6. Recompile with '-jvm-target 1.8'
In my settings kotlin is set to compile wit 1.8 and in my app gradle I have these:
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
After building the eventLog shows this (even though it failed)
26-Jun-19
16:53 Executing tasks: [:app:assembleDebug]
16:53 Gradle build finished in 11 s 543 ms
Edit: After adding this to my gradle
android {
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = '1.8'
}
}
thanks to an answer in a thread suggested by Shivam, the error now changed to the following:
com.android.builder.merge.DuplicateRelativeFileException: More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/ktor-client-serialization.kotlin_module'
This error actually existed about an hour ago, and then it disappeared. Now it's back. It feels like Android Studio keeps changing what bothers it in the code.
I will try to look more into this error now.
This is how it looks

sometimes android studio gets stuck stupidly on such things

Remove Project level .gradle folder , .idea folder and in app folder build folder delete and click on Make Project (Ctrl + F9).
