Hope the following steps, will solve your problems:

1. In the file gradle-wrapper.properties change the line distributionUrl=xxx to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.10.2-all.zip
2. In the file build.gradle, update the following lines:

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = findProperty('android.buildToolsVersion') ?: '35.0.0'
        minSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.minSdkVersion') ?: '24')
        compileSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.compileSdkVersion') ?: '35')
        targetSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.targetSdkVersion') ?: '34')
        kotlinVersion = findProperty('android.kotlinVersion') ?: '1.9.24'

        ndkVersion = "26.1.10909125"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle')
        classpath('com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin')
        classpath('org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin')
    }
}

apply plugin: "com.facebook.react.rootproject"

3. Please noted that, with the ReactNative 0.76.x, I used:

• ~3.16.1 for react-native-reanimated
• ~4.1.0 for react-native-screens

Answer 4

Inside android/gradle.properties, change newArchEnabled=true to newArchEnabled=false

Answer 5

Resolved by following steps

Remove the build and .cxx folder in the android/app/ directory.

Run the command in terminal:

• cd android
• ./gradlew clean

Change in file

• Open "android/gradle.properties" file

Run the project :

Answer 6

I was having same issue like this for react native screens Task :react-native-reanimated:configureCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a]

I just uninstalled react native screens and then installed lower version of it which was compatible with my project, then it worked.

Answer 7

Since I have finally fixed it, it took me a little bit, and i am not sure if i fixed it fully but here's what i did:

1. deleted the older AVD i have and made a new one.
2. in my project directory, i deleted the /.gradle and the /.idea (kept a back up of this one just in case).
3. navigated to /.gradle directory in my user directory and deleted , caches, daemon and wrapper folders.
4. under the same user directory i navigated to /.android and deleted , cache.
5. restarted my pc
6. lastly, reopened my project , in the terminal: cd android and then ./gradlew assembleRelease. and when i ran it, it worked but there's still some issues in another project for some reason.
