Run-Android Unexpected Token '*'

Question

I've both ejected an app I am working on, and created a new app through react-native init and for both apps, whenever I run react-native run-android I get the following error.

Does anyone know what the issue might be? I am developing on a mac.

Answer 1

Okay, so I finally know what was going wrong. I was using the new exponentiation operator (**), but for some reason, doesn't work well with react-native and Android. Check if you're using it and replace it with classic Math.pow(). Worked for me.
