I have a problem several days ago, I work in ubuntu and I would appreciate it very much if you help me :( I have a personal project that is finished and I want to get the apk, when I create the apk with ionic cap build I don't get any error, just a warn of Plugins are missing dependencies which I don't think is a problem, worse when I run ionic cap run and select the device either external or emulator I get Running Gradle build - failed! and at the end An error occurred while running thread capacitor. ionic cap build warning ionic cap run ERROR Also when I create the apk android studio opens automatically and I get this message: Error: Android Studio
WARNING
ERROR BUILD
Error Android Studio
I already tried deleting the node_modules folder, installing android studio, node, java,
gradle although I don't know if it installed correctly, etc.
1st image: You're missing the es6-promise-plugin. you need to install it
2nd and 3rd image: you are using an old version of gradle, which it is making it incompatible with what the compiler uses (8+). You need to install new version of gradle.

I think I had the same issue. After installing RN (May 20th, 2020), I bumped into this error. I found this solution on https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/10248.
In short:
Go to /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file in your RN project
Find this line that starts with distributionUrl. Change the gradle version into gradle-6.3-all.zip.
In my project, it was:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.0.1-all.zip
and I changed it into:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
That's it.
I had the same error on Mac OS and React Native v0.62.
Apply these instructions correctly: React native environment setup
Adding this variable solved my problem:
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"
In the React Native version 0.62.x even the initialized application is not ready for a development build.
I change the Gradle version to the latest and I could to have a clean build, so change this file:
// this file => /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
from:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.0.1-all.zip
to:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip
Pay Attention: The latest version of the Gradle for my time is 6.5. when you are reading this answer please check this link to see the latest version number of the Gradle.
Update Jan 24, 2023
7.6
I fixed this by these steps:
install android studio 3.5 (or later)
install java 1.8
if you have java JDE 14.x.x you have to remove its folder from library/java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.x.x.jdk (on mac os)
install an older version of JDE (I installed 11.0.6)
npm run android!
Just follow these 2 steps only and take your coffee.
Navigate to 'android' > gradle > wrapper > gradle-wrapper.properties
Change 'distributionUrl' from old to >
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
This Error occurs when the gradle version you used is not compatible on your environment, so you just need to update your gradle version to latest Gradle Versions, just go to: /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to your project file.

I was using JDK 16.0.1 and faced this issue. So, for JDK 16.0.1 you need 7.0 version of gradle.
I fixed it by going to /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and changing
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.2-all.zip
to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0-all.zip
If you are a macOS user then you should install
brew cask install adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8
brew cask install android-platform-tools
update your .bash_profile
nano ~/.bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)
This would resolve your problem. If you are working on a legacy codebase then changing the distribution URL would lead to other problems. It usually happens because of mismatching java versions.
It's probably because you use Gradle as the build system and JDK14
and the Gradle version is old. Reference:
If you use Gradle Wrapper then refer to
$PROJECT_ROOT/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
Property distributionUrl should be:
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-bin.zip
If it's an older version then change it, run ./gradlew clean build
and try again.
It is because your Gradle version is not supported by the Java JDK. If you use the JDK version 15.0.2 then you need to Gradle version change 6.6.1 or 6.7
To Change the Gradle Version in Android Studio.
android[project_name]/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
Open this file and set this
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.6.1-all.zip
then this problem will be solved.
To check the java JDK version.
open cmd.
run echo %JAVA_HOME%
Then you can also search on google to check the supported version of Gradle to the JDK.
updating JAVA_HOME works for me in mac OS
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"
This issue is caused by incorrect version of graddle. so to fix this follow these steps
Make sure you have Android studio installed and SDK is setuped from Android studio menu Tool-> SDK Manager you can setup SDK, install latest SDK if you are using latest version of React Native .
From Android Studio menu Tools > AVD Manager Setup one device and download the image. and test it to see that emulator is running OK.
Make Sure JDK is installed for latest react native install latest JDK : https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html
Next from Android Studio menu File > New > new project create one dummy project aka Hello world and build make sure all android studio issues resolved and your Android studio hello world app is running on emulator.
Now time to fix your react native app. Stop your Android studio hello world app and keep the emulator running.
Locate your Android studio hello world app on your system and go to gradle\wrapper folder and copy the gradle-wrapper.properties file
example in windows case my hello world app is located in my documents:
C:\Users\Superman\Documents\android\hello world\gradle\wrapper
Next go to your react native app folder like : myReactApp\android\gradle\wrapper and paste the gradle-wrapper.properties file you copied from your Android studio hello world app.
finally in your terminal execute : npx react-native run-android
I have the same issue with new project and windows. I try all these way but it doesn'. Ridiculously, I move java/jdk folder from C:\Program Files to another dir in D:\ and it works like a charm.
May be it's useful.

If you're using the latest version of Java Development Kit, you'll need to change the Gradle version of your project so it can recognize the JDK. You can do that by going to {project root folder}\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties and changing the distributionUrl value to upgrade the Gradle version. You can check out here the lastest releases of Gradle.
If you're looking for a solution for a Java/Kotlin Core Android project and not a React Project because i was also facing this problem in my core android project so here you go...
None of the above solutions worked for me. So basically the idea is to Change the version of gradle. How to do that you ask? Follow these steps:
File>Project Structure
Select SDK Location
You will find something written as "JDK was moved to Gradle Settings". Click on Gradle Settings.
Use Gradle Version 11.0
Sync the project again.
And there you go! A successfully built project! :)
I create a react native app in C9. Now, I want to develop this app on my local machine with android settings. I downloaded the project.
cd myProjectFolder
react-native start
npm install
react-native run-android
Also, I add a project name in package.json.
The error is below:
error Android project not found. Are you sure this is a React Native project?
If android project/folder does not exit in your root project then run :
react-native eject
I encountered this issue after I ruan ./gradlew clean. Tried serval methods but vain. Then I ran ./gradlew in the Android directory. It worked for me.
// Android
./gradlew
I am having an extremely difficult time trying to get react-native run-android to work on my mac so that my react-native android project runs in an emulator. The command runs fine on my windows machine.
This is the error I'm getting:
Configure project :react-native-vector-icons The CompileOptions.bootClasspath property has been deprecated and is
scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0. Please use the
CompileOptions.bootstrapClasspath property instead.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApk'.
A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-vector-icons'.

In my Android Studio, I am using the Virtual Device Pixel API 26, API = 26, Target = Android 8.0 (Google APIs).
Here are the SDK Platforms I've selected:
For the SDK Tools, I selected 23.0.1,26.0.1,26.0.2,27.0.1.
How do I get react-native run-android to make the app show in my emulator?
Try commenting out all references to react-native-vector-icons and see if your project runs without
Try getting a newer version of react-native-vector-icons
Try running react-native run-android --info --scan and if you can, approve and then paste the approved scan link in an update to your question.
I have problem with building my project in android studio.
I cant do ./gradlew clean and ./gradlew build from terminal and all is completed successful.
When im trying to click "Rebuild project" in android studio, im getting error:
org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not execute build using Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.6-bin.zip'.: Could not execute build using Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.6-bin.zip'.
I think it happened, when I updated my Android Studio. Can you help me solve this problem?
Im using Kubuntu 13.10.
I needed to update Gradle to 1.8 and change it in project gradle Wrapper.
