React-native: Error on running react-native project : MainApplication.java:5: error: cannot find symbol import com.facebook.react.ReactApplication;

[hello-deepak]

I have created project using expo ie expo init helloworld
then ejected it using expo eject.

And then I tried to run in emulator with yarn run android .
I got the following error.

$ yarn run android
yarn run v1.3.2

[ddudek]

I have the same issue. Seems like "android" folder is missing referenced here:

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

[happy32x]

same problem here ... please help us

[mariano55555]

I have the same problem...and I looked into node_modules/react-native and there is no "android" folder like it used to be in previous version, did you find any solution?

[phorvicheka]

I solved it by:
change the line below in android/app/build.gradle file from
implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" // From node_modules
to specific version of my react-native as in package.json
implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:0.57.5" // From node_modules

[imerkle]

@phorvicheka doesnt works

Could not find com.facebook.react:react-native:0.57.1.
  Searched in the following locations:
      file:/home/username/Android/Sdk/extras/m2repository/com/facebook/react/react-native/0.57.1/react-native-0.57.1.pom

Edit

This was the reason
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/21722#issuecomment-438819200

[brien-givens]

I had the same problem - adding the following block to allprojects.repositories in the project's build.gradle fixed it for me:

maven {
    url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}

Versions
Android Studio: 3.4 Canary 10
gradle: 5.1
react-navive: 0.57.8

[chriseteka]

I have the same problem, and i have tried suggested solutions here and even in stack overflow, but none worked for me. Also i couldn't find "android" folder in node_modules/react-native folder

[mariano55555]

At the end, I stopped trying using expo and then eject the app, instead of that, I used the option "Build Projects with native code" from React Native official page, https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started...and It worked like expected

[Mohit-gwg]

I also have same problem. I follow all the suggestions which are provided here.
@brien-givens "allprojects.repositories" is already present in my build.gradle. Please suggest.

[5h4thru]

I do not find 'android' folder under node_modules/react-native.
Running _npm_: 6.7.0 and _node_: v11.8.0
I see ReactAndroid folder under $rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/. Perhaps update it in build.gradle?

[samernady]

Any update on this?

[gtebbutt]

Just updated from 0.57.8 to the latest version - I'm seeing the same issue, but can build by replacing implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" with implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:0.58.3"

[gtebbutt]

OK, I've figured out the problem, at least in my case.

Running ./gradlew app:dependencies shows that react-native-sound specifies an ancient RN version, and that's taking precedence.

What I can't work out is why it resolves correctly if I go back to the commit before the upgrade:

+--- project :react-native-sound
|    \--- com.facebook.react:react-native:0.12.+ -> 0.57.8 (*)

+--- project :react-native-sound
|    \--- com.facebook.react:react-native:0.12.+ -> 0.12.0 (*)

Maybe a change in resolution rules on the newer gradle version that ships with 0.58?

[Juman8]

I had the same problem, follow the link: node_modules/react-native/android/com.facebbok.react/react-native.
You can see the react-native version.
after: change (build.gradle(app)):
(implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+") -> (implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:0.58.4")
My version: 0.58.4
it worked for me.

[ChaabaneFahmi]

didn't work for me..
first of all i couldn't find android folder inside react-native
second, it kept telling me this

[johnopthof]

Same as ChaabaneFahmi for me!

[lucasSndr]

Same here. No android folder in react-native/
Java compiler displays : cannot find symbol class ReactApplication and cannot find symbol ReactNativeHost.

Any update ?

[IvanAllue]

In my case:

react-native link --> solved the error.
If when you do it you get problems with the glob run first:
npm install --save glob

[aronedwards91]

Getting very similar error within packageList (also get in MainApplication if link in there):

(For now removed as not essential)

[IvanAllue]

After many attempts, this error came back to me all the time, I created new projects and nothing. At the end I saw in a video that instead of using expo eject they used the command react-native eject.

It seemed silly but I tried it and it seems that I must work in another way since I managed to make the mistake. I wanted to do the eject to work with realm and I got it installed and it worked ^^

Sorry if you do not understand, use google translator.

Summary use react-native eject instead of expo eject. Good luck

@aronedwards91 did you find any solution?

I don't know if I'm the only one but my error looks like this:

while upgrading to from RN 0.59.9 to 0.60.5 using https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.59.9&to=0.60.5 i forgot to make changes in android/app/build.gradle file, after making the following changes my issue was solved
Note: by default android/app/build.gradle is not expanded.

@basha777 try adding to the bottom of your app/build.gradle

task copyDownloadableDepsToLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.compile
    into 'libs'
}

apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle")
applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project)

In my case, the problem is solved by appending apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project) at the bottom of android/app/build.gradle.
