@hannehanen Did you manage to fix your issue? Your code looks correct other than index.js not being saved :P

Are you able to build the android project successfully?

I had success using Gradle v3.1.4 and following everything else in the installation guide. Maybe try downgrading Gradle?

• The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
• and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
• These basically call react-native bundle with the correct arguments during the Android build
• cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
• bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
• and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
• apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle" line.
