I'm just starting out my react track and thought of a little react-native app. Well, I installed Android Studio, the SDK and all that I needed according to https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup, using the react-native CLI tab. But when I try to launch my emulator for any device on my list I get the error: AVD manager unable to locate adb. I have checked my %ANDROID_HOME% variable and it's set to the correct Sdk dir, I can use adb.exe inside the platform-tools dir with no apparent problem. But the AVD manager can't.
I even tried reinstalling Android SDK after deleting the platform-tools dir, or even installing a different version of it, but it just won't work!
Any thoughts on what is happening?
I struggled with this problem for a few days now and the number 1 suggestion I found is:
review your environment variables (such as %ANDROID_HOME%);
remove the platform-tools dir inside %ANDROID_HOME%, adb.exe is either corrupted or missing;
reinstall Android SDK and check for adb.exe inside %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools;
emulate a new device (you are a wizard Harry!);
Well, this didn't work for me but apparently worked for some people, especially for avast users (apparently it corrupts adb.exe 'cause it believes it to be malware).
What worked for me was:
In Android Studio go to File > Project Structure (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S in windows);
Under Project Settings>Project>Project SDK must have a valid Android SDK selected;
emulate a new device (you are a wizard SadSack963!);

Just updated my Mac to the official release of Ventura, and I cannot launch my application via react-native run-ios.
Expected behavior:
running react-native run-ios will launch an Xcode simulator and a terminal window with Metro running.
Current behavior:
Xcode simulator opens, main terminal says app was built successfully, but an error is thrown instead of the metro terminal opening:
“launchPackager.command” can’t be opened because (null) is not allowed to open documents in Terminal.
The simulator just shows a white screen and can't be interacted with.
What I've tried:
manually opening node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command
opens Metro terminal but is not connected to the app
warn No apps connected. Sending "reload" to all React Native apps failed. Make sure your app is running in the simulator or on a phone connected via USB.
info Reloading app...
giving Terminal full disk access (no change)
This happened to me after upgrading to macOS Ventura. I happen to use iTerm as my main terminal, not the built-in Terminal.app so the following fix only applies to that scenario:
Set iTerm as the Default Handler for *.command Files
Open node_modules/react-native/scripts/ in Finder (open node_modules/react-native/scripts/)
Right-Click on launchPackager.command and click Open With then choose Other...
In your Applications directory, select iTerm and click Always Open With
After this, you might need to run npm run ios again from this terminal window. However, from now on, Metro will open in a new iTerm tab instead of trying to open the command in a new Terminal window.
For me, this was the desired behaviour and it removed this warning.
Note In future, any *.command files will now open with iTerm instead of Terminal.
I encountered the same problem as you, I installed another terminal (iTerm2), then randomly found a .command file, and in the display introduction, changed the default opening method to iTerm2enter image description here
I'm having this issue after upgrading my MacOS to Ventura 13.1.
If you don't want to use iTerm as the accepted answer suggest, the workaround I found was to look for the launchPackager.command file inside node-modules/react-native/scripts/ and open this file manually every time you run your app for the first time (specifically when the error pop-up appears). This will open the terminal with metro running already.
I know that manually processes are not the best, but I don't want to use iTerm :)
Using Intel version of apps (Webstorm, Android Studio, other IDE etc...) fixed my problems. I encountered the same issue and thanks to Intel version of Webstorm and Xcode on Rosetta I can able to pod install and other operations.
Note: I'm using Intel version of Android Studio, WebStorm. Also Xcode uses Rosetta 2. No problem detected and everything works perfect. I can able to develop React-Native & Native Android & iOS and Flutter apps without problem. Before that I was using Silicon version of WebStorm and almost no function worked.
Config: MacBook Air, macOS Ventura 13.2 on Apple M1 processor.
For Most of the case you just have to delete node_modules and install modules again (npm i). This happens when project was copied from old mac which had node_modules folder created by the old user, or if the system thinks so
This happened to me after i configured my terminal for the look and feel - but with iterm2, oh my zsh, and powerlevel10k
I am using react-native-expo for mobile app development.
I use an android emulator for the app, vscode editor for development.
It started showing me this error from few days.
› Opening on Android...
Couldn't adb reverse: device 'adb' not found
› Opening exp://10.0.46.81:19000 on Device adb
Couldn't start project on Android: Error running adb: device 'adb' not found
› Press ? │ show all commands
I tried wiping the emulator, tapping on the build number in the emulator, but nothing worked out.
I've deleted the virtual devices and created new one. It worked for one time and again this process isn't working.
there isn't much about this on the internet.
need help.
Just try this. It is work for me.
make sure you already add android sdk path in setting > appearance & behavior > system settings > android SDK > android SDK location
(Common path is C:\Users(name)\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk)
create new variable name and value in Environment Variables (User Variables)
(ANDROID_HOME C:\Users(name)\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk)
add new Path in Environment Variables (User Variables)
(C:\Users(name)\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools)
It is work for me after I have solved it for 3 hours.
At first, I don't face the problem like this in flutter but in react-native.
The fix for me was to install the SDK Platform for the android version used by the AVD.
In my case, I installed android v9 (Pie) via the AVD Manager when setting up my AVD for the first time, and when I looked into this issue I noticed that the SDK Platform for v9 was not installed as part of that setup.
The exact steps I took are as follows:
Disclaimer: You might not need to follow these steps exactly to resolve the issue
Close all CMD and IDE programs.
Open Android Studio and navigate to AVD Manager
Click the down arrow for the target AVD and click the Edit option
Set the device to Cold boot instead of Quick boot
Open SDK Manager, and download the SDK Platform for android version used by AVD
Go back to AVD Manager, click the Cold boot now option
Open a CMD terminal as administrator, CD to project repo, and run expo start
Launch expo in AVD
DONE
I had the same problem. Emulator started working after this:
Delete caches from Android Studio
Wipe data from your emulator
Cold boot to restart
When I was solving this problem I also ended up doing these:
Check Android studio updates
Reinstalled Android studio
Check SDK updates from SDK tools: SDK Manager -> Android SDK -> SDK tools. You can see if there is a new update available on the right.
Go to Virtual Device Manager -> Select your Device -> Actions -> Click "Drop down" button and select "Cold Boot Now".
This worked for me.
For my case, I went to the avd and simply clicked "wipe data", restarted both my avd and server and it worked
By my side the problem was is In Internet Connection. I just changed the WiFi and everything working fine.
I'm new to react-native, I've seen tutorials but everyone uses expo. I downloaded this project where they don't use expo. I want to compile this application for android, to finally get an .apk
This application already has a folder called "Android" but inside it does not have its respective .apk. How can I generate it?
this is the repository:
https://github.com/zsajjad/BusinessCard
It would be great if you can attach screenshots of how I should do it
Note. I have the latest version of android studio and I don't see the option of "build"
commands like "gradlew" from the console, they don't work, it's as if I didn't have that command installed
Following instructions for build apk using android studio
Hope you installed node and react native on your machine. If not
please follow the link to install it.Install node and react native
open your command prompt or terminal and redirect to your download project - cd /Businesscard Master (change it according to your project location)
Now enter - npm install
Enter - react-native link
Follow the android related linking instructions on following link react native camera
Hope you know about android camera and storage permissions.
same thing for react native text detector. Because your downloaded project have that packages in package.json
Now open your project android folder in android studio using open existing android project.
Then select build your project from android studio build menu and run it also
Generate apk using build menu- same process you have to follow for native android project
You don't need to use the CLI, that's needlessly complicated and it obscures what Android Studio is actually doing. Here's all you need to do.
Open the whole /Android/ folder in Android Studio. This is your "project" similar to how you open a *.xed file in XCode. Except in Android Studio, you just open up the whole folder to get the build.
Android Studio will now prepare your project using Gradle. If there are any errors in the preparation it will tell you about them. Assuming your gradle and Android Studio versions are compatible and you got no errors, you're now ready to emulate, debug and create a production build. At this point the workflow is similar to using XCode. You'll see emulators under Tools -> AVD Manager.
In the file menus go to Build->Generate APK. You can choose between signed APKs, debug APKs and so on. You'll need the key file if you're signing the APK on your computer, otherwise there's also Google Play signing after you upload the APK.
TL;DR: Just open your /Android/ folder in Android Studio.
Side note: When Android Studio gives you popups to upgrade stuff don't do it. NEVER upgrade Gradle or Android Studio unless the RN / Expo team specifically ask you. This will break your whole project and you will need to rebuild the platform.
I update my android studio to 3.1.3 but I cannot use platform 27 now
when I click "install platform and sync project" it pop up a download window and then disappear. But the error still exist. SDK Platforms is following:
expand SDK:
For anyone get this issue, you should uninstall Android SDK 27 then re-install it from SDK download manager.
#TrongHiue's answer didn't work for me. (Mac user, Android 3.2.1).
I had to close the IDE, go to Library/Android/sdk and rename the 'sdk' folder to 'sdk2'. Then reopen Android Studio - it will prompt you to tell you it can't find the old sdk folder but will automatically use sdk2. Hit ok. Then, let Android Studio re-index. It will now find platform 27 and you should be able to launch your app.
If you want to change your sdk folder back from skd2 to sdk, close the IDE, rename back to 'sdk', re-open the IDE, update the SDK location in File -> Project Structure, and make sure local.properties is pointing to 'sdk' folder and not 'sdk2'.
In my case, I fixed it by click "Edit" (Next to Android SDK Location) and install SDK platform at SDK Setup window.
Click here to see image
For me neither options worked.
I've updated to SKD 29 and Android Studio 3.6.
What did help was going to the SDK Manager and click the "Edit" link next to Android SDK Location. In the next screen you will see a message saying that an existing Android SDK was detected and only missing or outdated SDK components will be downloaded. Click Next and problem solved!
Ran into same problem but with API 26 and (win) studio 3.5.1. XavierDominguez solution was close to what I had to do to fix it. Close IDE, renamed Sdk to Sdk2, reopened studio, problem persisted so closed IDE, renamed it back to Sdk, reopened and worked this time around. Posted in case someone ran across same problem.
This usually happens when popup for update tools and you click on Update and after some time before finishing Update you Cancel It.
Simply Go to FIle--> Invalidate Caches/Restart
This can happen when your sdk location directory has space in it.
Change directory without space and re-build the project. It worked for me.
Old SDK Location: "C:\Users\DELL 15\android-sdks"
New Location: "C:\Users\android-sdks"
Everytime I try to launch a react native project I got this error
Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for
details. Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device
connected and have set up your Android development environment
I reinstalled nodejs, python and jdk using choco as suggested on official docs. Every single packages is installed as well as sdk 23.0.1
I can see my virtual device if I run adb devices USB debugging is activated and it's running android 6.
I setup ANDROID_HOME path in environment variables, I'm using same sdk path as you can see in the picture. I also setup another one for JAVA_HOME and Python.
My PATH looks like this:
I just don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm using a surface pro 4, Windows 10. I can run projects using expo. I literally tried everything, restart computer, start cmd using admin, create new virtual devices, uninstall everything and start from scratch, it just don't work.
You have pointed out two issues; first, make sure you have an android emulator running. To do that, you run adb devices and you say you can see you device.
The other issue is with the environment. To make sure your environment is setup properly for android, go to the root of your react-native project. Open the android project using android studio.
All errors with your environment will show up, use the automatic fixes provided by android studio. Clean the project in android studio. Close studio and go back to command line, run react-native run-android
Everything should work now.
When doing react-native start it will intentionally hang at "Loading dependency graph" (its not really hanging, its just waiting to receive build/bundle signals). This is correct. You have to open a second terminal then do react-native run-android.
If you get errors, then cd android in your project folder then run ./gradlew clean, then after that do another react-native start then react-native run-android.
Solution is to delete all java JDK and reinstall v8 / change JAVA_HOME to the new path.
Also changing gradle-wrapper.propertiesfile for each project you want to run
# update gradle to latest version
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4.1-all.zip
Sometimes it dosen't compile with v4 so I have to use v3. React native is definitely confusing.
after install dan update environment JDK now I can install app on my device
