I had the same issue. Follow these steps for the resolution in your project's folder:

react-native start

This might take a while. Output will look like this:

Once this is over run this:

react-native run-android

Answer 2

I had the same problem in a Windows machine when following the Getting Started tutorial, and using Visual Studio Emulator for Android.

In my case, I found out that it was failing because it couldn't find adb when building the app, so I solved it by adding the Android SDK Platform Tools folder to my PATH. Check that you have it! :)
