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.

I updated the ruby via rbenv to the required version to reach this point (ruby 2.7.5). I couldn't find the exact issue with my setup.
Any tips?
I had exact the same issue here. After some research, I solved by following these steps:
gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
Then created a test project to see where if everything works fine by following:
npx react-native init tempProject --skip-install
cd tempProject
yarn install
cd ios
bundle install
bundle exec pod install
I have been working with react-native project in another pc and it has been working correctly. Now I cloned project to another device where I have react-native installed since I work with other project and I cannot run it.
When I run react-native run-android I get this error:
Cannot run program "npx": error=2, No such file or directory
I'm using Android Studio 4 on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6.
I solved the problem by running Android Studio with bellow command on console.
$ open -a "Android Studio.app"
Simple steps you need to go through to make it work with npx
sudo npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
sudo npm i -g npx
npx react-native run-android
More detailed explanation why this is happenig
Issue was that Facebook is not using anymore react-native-cli as they are using npx.
As stated in Facebook page:
If you previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues.
So i had to run sudo npm uninstall -g react-native-cli to remove react-native-cli
They also say that npx is shipped with nodejs but that wasn't my case.
React Native has a built-in command line interface, which you can use to generate a new project. You can access it without installing anything globally using npx, which ships with Node.js.
So I had to install it using sudo npm i -g npx
After installing npx then just need to run npx react-native run-android.
Be aware of npx before react-native run-android
Now you don't have any command react-native now we only have 'npx' and react-native run-android is just a parameter for npx. For ex. to start metro we should run npx react-native start
I had the same issues, so I followed these steps:
Start by installing the latest version of Android Studio (Don't delete the old version, just copy paste that to another directory or in my case I just added the Android Studio 3.2.1 that I had to a folder called olderAndroidStudio, on mac).
Make sure you don't click on import settings from Existing.
Follow along the installation, and complete it.
Build and Run, app runs without any problems.
I additionally uninstalled react-native-cli using the method given in the accepted answer.
In my case, I just quit Android Studio and reopened, and the error was gone.
Maybe throw in a ./gradlew clean for goo measure.
I solved it by finding the command that was throwing error and ran it directly
node -e "console.log(require('react-native/cli').bin)"
which outputs a path, something like
$HOME/my-app/node_modules/#react-native-community/cli/build/bin.js
then I pasted that path in android/app/build.gradle
project.ext.react = [
entryFile: "index.js",
enableHermes: true, // clean and rebuild if changing
cliPath: "$HOME/my-app/node_modules/#react-native-community/cli/build/bin.js" // <--- add this
]
i have a problem with react native in ubuntu, i have installed,
java jdk 8 (both javac --version) as well as echo $JAVA_HOME gives the proper output.
I have also installed android studio and set the android environment variables as well as the tools and echo $ANDROID_HOME gives output of the sdk location.
I have also installed gradle version 4.4.
I am unable to start the android app using react-native run-android. can any one let me know if i have missed something during installation.
And react-native as well as android studio works fine as I am currently using react-native start to start the metro builder as well as the other react-native cli commands. also android studio and gradle is also able to generate debug as well as release apks with no problems.
The error i get,
Scanning folders for symlinks in /home/igate-naveed/Documents/ReactNative/mobile-app-android/node_modules (16ms)
Starting JS server...
Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug)...
Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details.
Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html
First of all you need to create a project like this:
react-native init myProjectName
Then, start an emulator from Android Studio... Afterwards:
npm install && npm start
in your project directory, and from another terminal, inside your project directory, run :
react-native run-android
Is this working?
Instead of using the npm install manager, I used yarn and it worked for me. In your project directory, just do:
(project-directory)$ yarn
Update the gradle version.
Create new project:
react-native init projectname
Uninstall the npm pack.
Reinstall the npm pack again.
npm start
react-native start
react-native run-android
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.

I have created a react-native project XYZApp using react-native init which is pushed in GitHub repo.
Now when I am cloning the project on a different system. following is the directory structure
app/XYZApp
Following is the set of commands and steps I am using.
cd app
brew install node
brew install watchman
#
npm install -g react-native-cli
#
install android studio and required SDKs
#
install X-Code
#
react-native init MyApp
prompt: Directory MyApp already exists. Continue?: (no)
I am typing - yes
npm install [all dependencies]
react-native link
Through all the above steps, some new default files are getting created which runs a default app, with some minor changes in those files I am able to run the app. But I know this is not the correct way of doing this.
I tried several other methods also,
like npm start
I checked several links but could not find the correct method for the setup after cloning.
Most of them are mentioned for create-react-native-app method.
It will be great if someone can help me regarding this.
after cloning
Don't do this
react-native init MyApp
prompt: Directory MyApp already exists. Continue?: (no)
I am typing - yes
npm install [all dependencies]
react-native link
just go to cloned app directory XYZApp and do
npm install
and all set to run the app using
react-native run-android
Update 2019 React Native 0.60.0+:
First you need to install all the node modules by running
npm install
If you're using libraries with native dependencies like react-native-gesture-handler these libraries need to be linked correctly. To do so run
react-native link
For setting up the iOS project correctly you need to install the CocoaPods dependencies:
