Trying to execute 'react-native run-android' in cmd and here is what I got:

• Where: Build file 'C:\Users\mike\Documents\Android Studio\AwesomeProject\android\app\build.gradle' line: 110

• What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

  Could not normalize path for file 'C:\Users\mike\Documents\Android Studio\AwesomeProject\android\C:UsersmikeAppDataLocalAndroidSdk\tools\proguard\proguard-android.txt'.

• Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 33.615 secs 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/android-setup.html

Note: I've already added 'local.properties' with the associated sdk location.

Answer 1

In your "local.properties" file ,change sdk.dir=C:\Users\mike\AppData\Local\AndroidSdk to sdk.dir=C:/Users/mike/AppData/Local/AndroidSdk
