@lajos93 @dkrahn There is a friendlier message in native-run 0.2.0, which was just released. (npm i -g native-run@latest)

Basically, the tool is trying to figure out where to deploy your app, and it is resorting to using an AVD to boot up an emulator, but it doesn't have the system image it needs. You can check native-run android --sdk-info to see which packages are missing and install them with Android Studio. You can create an AVD in Android Studio as well.

This isn't really a bug, so I'm closing this, but let us know what we can improve.

I have all the packages installed and have this error:
