React native build "Evaluating settings" step taking forever

Question

Print of terminal

I am building a mobile app with react native and typescript, until now it was working fine, but yesterday I tried to start it up with react-native run-android and it just doesn't go through this "Evaluating Settings" step, once I tried to let it running and it was 40 minutes in this step, it also happens for any other command from gradle like ./gradlew clean

I tried removing android/.gradle deleting node_modules, yarn.lock and Users/user/.gradle and starting it up again but it did not help.

Answer 1

I fixed this by updating my settings.gradle file by commenting out this line of code:

apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)

Answer 2

try use this https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/

I also had an upgrade from @0.73.6 to @0.75,

this worked for me.
