Switching from JDK9 to JDK8 (Windows 10 x64, gradle 2.14.1 ) solved the issue for me.

@vbarinov I've done that, but it has not made any difference.

@orinmurphy did you able to solve this? i am also facing the exact same issue, JDK9 installed

amjadkhan120 on 28 Sep 2017

@amjadkhan120 yes I just solved this issue. I had two versions of Java installed, so i removed JDK9 and that fixed the issue for me. Now I am just using JDK8

orinmurphy on 28 Sep 2017

I also had two JDK versions installed (8 & 9), I removed 9 and everything started working.

To uninstall:
Navigate to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and remove the v9 directory

cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

sudo rm -rf {yourVersionName}.jdk

If you do not have version 8 in that directory you will need to install JDK8.

After deleted jdk-9 will be ok, but why RN can't support jdk-9?

Removing jdk9 is the solution for me

No need to remove JDK9, just update your JAVA_HOME and PATH variable to point to JDK8.
Also, in the path variable, make sure jdk8 path has higher priority than javaclasspath ( added by oracle when you first install JAVA, this will still point to your earlier install version i.e; jdk9 ).

To switch between versions, just change the priority order in Path environment variable.

It's a generic Android issue that has nothing to do with React Native.

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html says "Download and install JDK 8 or newer". It should probably be explicit that only "JDK 8" will work.
