Answer 1

Use this :

step 1: add these two lines in gradlew.properties Visit for complete guideline

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

step 2: use these commands

First of all remove node_modules folder and reinstall it using

npm install  

or

yarn 

and then

npm install --save-dev jetifier  npx jetify   npx react-native run-android  

Call

npx jetify 

every time when (your dependencies update or every time you install node_modules you have to jetify again)

Answer 2

When I was getting this error I noticed that I'm not in the main project folder I was inside the cd android folder. So I just cd .. it and it worked.

Answer 3

Use this:

react-native run-android --no-jetifier
