Though this solved my issue. But many of the devs did not want to run two commands to run the project.

Any fix yet?

Temporary fix:

REACT_TERMINAL=<your terminal> react-native run-android

in my case with archlinux + xfce4:

REACT_TERMINAL=xfce4-terminal react-native run-android

or puts in your .bashrc:

export REACT_TERMINAL=xfce4-terminal

note: it will use two instances of terminal

Wish this is officially resolved soon.

The issue is caused, because spawning the process to run the Metro Bundler does not return:
https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/packages/platform-android/src/commands/runAndroid/index.ts#L348

This seems to be an issue in the execa library, which was introduced by this merge:
https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/601/files

It can be fixed by replacing the call with the previous one:
spawn('sh', [launchPackagerScript], procConfig);

Possible workarounds, by setting the terminal

• explicitly, using $ react-native run-android --terminal path/to/terminal
• implicitly, by setting one of the environment variables TERM_PROGRAM or REACT_TERMINAL

[arafatzahan]

How's this still not fixed? Sad

[Esemesek]

Fix for that is already merged in the cli - https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/issues/1066. I think we're safe to close this issue.

[ShivamJoker]

How this issue is still present in the latest version of RN -_- please fix it
I am using macos

@ShivamJoker First of all, please stop spamming various repos without giving any additional or helpful information.
Second of all, this issue is about terminal not launching on Linux machines, while your issue is connected to OSX (https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/issues/1066#issuecomment-610369254). This issue should be fixed in the latest version of @react-native-community/cli. Your problem seems to be connected to your local env setup.
@cpojer Can we close this issue as it was already fixed and released in the CLI (https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/1099)

[BrenoMazieiro]

Linux:
Go to the terminal and type:
react-native start

and then in OTHER terminal, inside your project folder:
yarn android
or
npm run android

[yassinebridi]

@Esemesek this issues is still occurring, using the latest cli version 2.0.1.

Reinstalling android studio with a new emulator or changing the app name in app.json , build.gradle and android manifest.xml solved the issue.
