Description

I created a new project with "create-react-native-app" and then ejected it to plain react native project. When i try to run "react-native run-android" command i get build failed with error Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

Reproducible Demo

I executed following commands.
create-react-native-project [projectname]
cd [projectname]
npm run eject
react-native run-android

The result output is as follows.

Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

If you believe this information is irrelevant to the reported issue, you may write [skip envinfo] under Environment to let us know.

I have provided the environment details which are obtained after running react-native info in the environment section.

I have the same issue, here are my infos:

Environment:
OS: Windows 10
Node: 8.12.0
Yarn: Not Found
npm: 6.4.1
Watchman: Not Found
Xcode: N/A
Android Studio: Version 3.2.0.0 AI-181.5540.7.32.5056338

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1
react-native: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-30.0.0.tar.gz => 0.55.4

I started with a CRNA that I ejected. I also ran a npm install -g react-native-git-upgrade that didn't change anything to the errors messages.

The only difference I have is the warning about the compile keyword taht I already replaced with implementation.

I can provide my gradle files if you think it could be useful!

Same issue for me. i ejected my project from CRNA too.
However when i create a new react-native project and run-android it works.

OS: Windows 10
Node: v10.7.0
npm : 6.1.0
Android studio 3.2.1
react : 16.5.0
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.57.1

EDIT :
It looks like i've corrected it, i had as a dependency in my package.json :
"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-31.0.0.tar.gz",

I changed it to :
"react-native": "0.57.5",

and run "npm install", and now it works...

[elstoutenburg]

I've been dealing with this issue for a while now, resorted to react-native-init but changing to "react-native": "0.57.5", fixed it for me. Thanks.

[archit6204]

"react-native": "0.57.5",

this works for me

thanks a lot

[shashank-shark]

Step 1: Delete node_modules folder.
Step 2: run "yarn install" without quotes.
Step 3: Then run, "react-native run-android".

If the above steps fails, then change react-native version to 0.57.5 in package.json file and then repeat the steps 1,2,3.

This worked for me as well!

Try migrating to AndroidX and then follow the steps from above.
