Update: I created a new React Native project (version 0.59.10) and installed all dependencies successfully and confirmed that the Android project files were in sync, however the bug still exists.

Solved it! User error!

Instead of this:

        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }

I had:

        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url '$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android'
        }

Gradle files are written using Groovy syntax, and only double-quoted strings support variable interpolation.. so $rootDir was being taken literally and react-native wasn't being properly loaded, causing its API calls to fail.

I already have double quotes but still have the same error...

[SirCameron]

I'm getting this error using npx react-native run-android

[romanonthego]
