Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

What is going on? Just this morning, everything was going on fine when debugging complex android apps on my device. I accidentally removed my phone without running adb kill-server and that's the only logical reason for the bugs to start, but everything looks fine now: my device is connected and appears on the list displayed by adb devices. I ran adb kill-server; adb start-server may times. I went untill page 10 of google results for this issue. Why is my script stuck at app:installDebug?

Reproducible Demo

Hi @ShaneLee11 ,
Thanks for the tip! Didn't try it out but that is definitely a more satisfying debug advice than the one that worked for me (restarting my computer and my phone).

Hi ninofiliu, try the following:

1) reopen android studio as admin. build the gradle. if no issue, proceed on
2) access the android folder of your app. i.e c:folderappandroid
3) type in gradlew clean
4) run react-native run-android

that should solve your problem.

Hi ninofiliu, try the following:

reopen android studio as admin. build the gradle. if no issue, proceed on

access the android folder of your app. i.e c:folderappandroid

type in gradlew clean

run react-native run-android

that should solve your problem.

Does this same solution apply for ubuntu linux users
