react-native-camera: sdk manager plateforms-tools 28.0.1 can't be installed - react-native

I'm trying to install react-native-camera. I'm on Ubuntu 18, Webstorm for IDE. Targeting Android.
For the Android SDK, I don't have a full Android Studio install. I've instead install only android-sdk and I'm using the sdkmanager. That works fine with my stub app, it compile and runs on Android with
react-native run-android
I've installed react-native-camera as a module with npm as per the indications:
npm install react-native-camera --save
react-native link react-native-camera
So far so good. It links. If I try to launch the app however (even before trying to actually use the camera), I get some warnings:
> Configure project :react-native-camera
Checking the license for package Android SDK Platform-Tools in /usr/lib/android-sdk/licenses
License for package Android SDK Platform-Tools accepted.
Preparing "Install Android SDK Platform-Tools (revision: 28.0.1)".
Warning: Failed to read or create install properties file.
WARNING: platform-tools package is not installed, and automatic installation failed.
So I've tried to install the platforms tools using the sdk manager & instructions provided here:
sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-28"
Which yields:
Warning: Failed to read or create install properties file.
So I am guessing it really has to do with the sdkmanager...
Do I absolutely need 28.0.1 for react-native-camera? If so, how can I get around this issue with the SDK manager? I've tried various similar syntax for the install of the platform and it didn't work. I checked with sdkmanager --list that it's the proper name (seems to be). And if I go under android-sdk/platforms-tools all I see there is the adb file (or perhaps the install is supposed to just update that file?)

Silly me.
I needed to run the SDK manager as sudo. To do that:
sudo bash sdkmanager [installations args as per post above].
I will leave the post - I lost a ridiculous amount of time for that, hopefully it can help others....
And yes - if the platform-tools install has worked then under /platform-tools you should see a bunch of files, not just the adb one.

Nativescript vue, how to get the .apk file?

By following nativescript docs, installed all dependencies and tns doctor dont find any error.
and followed a tutorial and ran the following commands,
npm install -g #vue/cli #vue/cli-init
vue init nativescript-vue/vue-cli-template hello-vue
cd hello-vue
npm install
All sets fine and then i did my coding for an simple app then i ran below command:
npm run watch:android
This deploy the app in my connected android phone.
so my question is how can i get the apk file, so that i can send to another person?
Note: sidekick even not opening my folder. and when running tns build android shows No project found at or above 'C:\wamp64\www\newapp' and neither was a --path specified.
For building the apk for android, use the following command:
tns build android --release --key-store-path <path-to-your-keystore> --key-store-password <your-key-store-password> --key-store-alias <your-alias-name> --key-store-alias-password <your-alias-password>
Lots more info here : https://docs.nativescript.org/tooling/publishing/publishing-android-apps
If you want to get the debug apk using tns debug android --bundle, it will be located here :
<your project folder>/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
If you are having trouble running tns, install nativescript globally using:
npm i -g nativescript
And follow the simple prompts.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for (it sounds like you want a debug.apk instead of an output.apk), but you might want to look at the documentation for publishing an Android app.

Getting error while creating a new Project

I'm new to reactnative. I have followed steps to install reactnative properly but, while creating a new project, I'm getting an error. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit with i3 processor.
c:\ReactNativeProjects>react-native init AwesomeProject
Command npm install --save --save-exact react-native failed.
My Folder contains only one file
Since you are starting to use React Native, consider using Expo, I've used it and it makes developing, debugging, testing and deploying to the apple store and google play easier.
According to the official docs:
Expo is the easiest way to start building a new React Native
application. It allows you to start a project without installing or
configuring any tools to build native code - no Xcode or Android
Studio installation required (see Caveats).
Assuming that you have Node installed, you can use npm to install the
Expo CLI command line utility:
npm install -g expo-cli
Then run the following commands to create a
new React Native project called "AwesomeProject":
expo init AwesomeProject
cd AwesomeProject
npm start
This will start a development server for
you.
I've answered a question in SO for the steps and what happens when you build your .apk and .ipa files using Expo, have a look at that as well.
These are my steps to get rid of this error:
Please upgrade your npm
npm install -g npm#latest
Run npm cache clean command in Command prompt ( With some element of doubt for cache presence)
3.Ran react-native init in command prompt as Administrator (on Windows OS), hoping works well with sudo react-native init on Mac OS
If still problem persist make sure that you have followed each and every step mentioned in Documentation i.e. installed JDK, PYTHON, NODE.

An error occurred during upgrade in react native

I am working on react native app, started the app using CRNA command to create the project then exp detach to detach. The problem I am having is this: when I started the app I was on windows, so it only created android folder while detaching, now that I want the app to build for iOS I kinda need to generate the iOS folder, to do this I am running react-native-git-upgrade so that it would generate iOS folder, but it throws an error as follow:
An error occurred during upgrade: git-upgrade ERR! Error:
react-native version in "package.json"
(https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-26.0.0.tar.gz)
doesn't match the installed version in "node_modules" (0.54.2).
Is there any way that I can generate iOS folder without having to upgrade the app? I am so confused in this case and it seems that its quite benefit starting an app from an Mac OS system in this case, so u have both android and iOS folders generated.
Also tried to delete node_modules folder and tried npm install and it seems it added some packages but then again I get same problem when running react-native-git-upgrade
Note: I have node v10.0 installed on Mac
Anyone have any idea on this?
I successfully upgrade RN project using react-native upgrade instead of react-native-git-upgrade, here's the step:
You will be need to input project name in package.json on project root, just add this value "name": "<YOUR-APP-NAME>".
then run react-native upgrade, if you are prompted to downgrade RN package, to downgrade usenpm install react-native#x.x.x, for example: npm install react-native#0.43.4. check installed version using react-native -V.
Now run react-native upgrade, you will be asked to replace some files, input y to confirm.
After the upgrade done, revert to latest version of RN package using npm install react-native#x.x.x.

Apache Cordova VS Community 2015 - Run Dependency Checker Fails

Apache Cordova Dependency Checker fails in VS Community 2015. It was previously working on this computer until I ran several VS and 3rd party tools updates. Here's what I've done to try to resolve the issue:
Installed VS / Apache Cordova (no error messages displayed) following article https://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/install-vs-tools-apache-cordova/
Run Apache Cordova Dependency Checker but VS freezes with the error message - VS 2015 has stopped working, windows will try to restart the program.
I restarted VS and cleared Cordova cache, checked environment variables (all good), then tried Apache Cordova Dependency Checker with the same freeze result.
I tried to update Apache Cordova with the fix option (no error messages) but received the same freeze results.
I completely uninstalled Apache Cordova, 3rd party tools (following article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3016536), and VS community and then reinstalled them (no error messages) but received the same freeze results.
I installed Apache Cordova on another computer and the dependency checker phonegap app... worked. Unfortunately that's not a computer that I have access to.
What else can I do to resolve the Apache Cordova installation issue?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
Since my original post, I've had to resolve Visual Studio, Ionic, Cordova, Phonegap, plugin... environment issue several times. I've found the below works best:
Ensure platform matches plugin requirements, see platform in config.xml e.g. 6.1.1
Uninstall, reinstall latest jdk (adobe)
Clear MEF Cache - download the tool and follow instructions
Download/install latest node.js
Run the following from the command line:
Clear cache: Npm cache clean
Install latest npm: npm install -g npm
Uninstall cordova: Npm uninstall -g cordova
Reinstall cordova: Npm install –g cordova (note, this took 5+ tries to complete without errors. No other changes were made between runs. Not sure
why. Found others complaining about the same issue.)
Remove Android platform: Cordova platform remove android
Install Cordova platform add android#6.X.X (Note, as of 4/20/17 cordova and android compatibility issue. Build error - unable to find installed version of gradle. resolved by running (npm install -g cordova#6.4.0) and (cordova platform add android#6.1.2). Addt'l build errors, resolved by updating components in Android SDK Manager)
Uninstall/Reinstall plugins from the command line. For example:
cordova plugin remove phonegap-plugin-push
cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push variable SENDER_ID="YourID#"
npm install bower -g
Restart Visual Studio - Verify plugins were installed via config.xml
Install Ionic:
npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g ionic (note: to install specific version, npm install -g ionic#2.2.3)
$ ionic platform add ios
$ ionic platform add android (note: redundant, already added above)
I recommend putting as much of this as possible in a batch file with a pause between commands. Verify each command was successful, if not press ctrl+break at the pause to term the batch file early. The batch file is an easy way to restore your environment when everything breaks again. Stuff happens!
I also started using a VM (oracle virtualbox) for my development environment. That way I can backup my environment before making changes and easily restore. Don't forget to upload to GIT on a daily basis. GIT and VMs are my lifesavers.
Cool NPM commands:
npm list (lists all installed packages)
npm prune (removes packages not depended on by your project according to your package.json)
npm outdated (tells you which installed packages are outdated with respect to what is current in the npm registry but allowable by the version definition in your package.json. Make sure all up-to-date)
Please feel free to add/make suggestions to the above list.

no info and debug messages in Titanium console after updating Xcode

I'm using simple Ti.API.log() calls in several apps, and they worked fine - until I did the most recent XCode update. Since then, the Titanium console messages end with "focusing app simlatur" when I start an iOS App in the simulator, otherwise, no messages from my Ti.API.log() calls are displayed.
Run configuration -> log level is set to "info". Does anyone else have such problem or a solution?
It was a bug with the new version of the iOS simulator. See the issue tracker thread:
https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-15569
Scrolling down in that thread will show the current workaround reproduced below. This will download and install the newest bleeding edge version of the sdk that contains the fix. They estimate that it will be merged into an official release by mid december. If you are working in titanium studio, you might have to update to the newest version of that as well. I had this issue last week and fixed it by performing the below command and updating titanium studio. (titanium studio can be updated through help->install software and then adding the site for the beta release [see - http://preview.appcelerator.com/studio/ ])
My new working setup is:
Studio version: 3.1.5.201311130103
CLI version 3.2.0
Titanium SDK version 3.2.0.v20131114123518
sudo npm install -g git://github.com/appcelerator/titanium.git
ti sdk install -b master -d
To get back to stable:
sudo npm install -g titanium#3.1.2
ti sdk select 3.1.3.GA
This is a known issue at the moment with 3.1.2.GA CLI. It has been fixed in the upcoming 3.2 CLI. Just hang in there while the AppC team works on this.
For the time being, you can uninstall the current cli via npm like so
npm remove titanium
Then install the "latest and greatest" version from github like so
npm install -g [sudo] npm install -g git://github.com/appcelerator/titanium.git
You can refer to the setup options here: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium
