react-native android project not found error

Question

I am trying to create a react-native project using react-native cli. Command I used to create project

• npx react-native init test

After this if I try to run this app by

• cd test & npx react-native run-android

But I get this error:

error Android project not found. Are you sure this is a React Native project? If your Android files are located in a non-standard location (e.g. not inside 'android' folder), consider setting project.android.sourceDir option to point to a new location.

I have android, ios folder in root project and node version is 16.15.0

This is my project json:

{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "android": "react-native run-android",
    "ios": "react-native run-ios",
    "start": "react-native start",
    "test": "jest",
    "lint": "eslint ."
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "17.0.2",
    "react-native": "0.68.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.12.9",
    "@babel/runtime": "^7.12.5",
    "@react-native-community/eslint-config": "^2.0.0",
    "babel-jest": "^26.6.3",
    "eslint": "^7.32.0",

I was facing the same issue too so i've created a thread on r/reactnative and someone kind provided a solution. Not sure why, but it works for me. The solution is:

1. delete node_modules
2. add this to package.json: "resolutions": { "glob": "7.2.0" }
3. install node_modules with yarn or npm
