The error message is pretty clear. Please check your settings.gradle file.

[wxy1234567890]

settings.gradle file:

rootProject.name = 'myRNproject'
include ':react-native-vector-icons'
project(':react-native-vector-icons').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '..\node_modules\react-native-vector-icons\android')

include ':app'

[blindpirate]

You need to escape \ character.

I get it. '' should be replaced by '/' .Thank you very much.

[barmola]

I already have "/" . in settings.gradle file. i am still facing that error

[usama-zafar]

Same error as @barmola . All the / slashes are their but still no luck

[barmola]

Same error as @barmola . All the / slashes are their but still no luck

Actually my error got resolved after following steps:

for me error occurred after installing multiple packages in one npm install l was trying to install react navigation , react-native-gesture-handler,react-native-screen , so i tried to install them one by one, and after installing every package i opened my [project_name]\android folder in Android Studio and rebuild my project after every install and opened cmd inside android folder and ran this command ./gradlew clean after doing this my BUILD was SUCCESSFULL!!!!! This may be confusing but this worked out for me

[barmola]

the error which you are getting the same error i was also getting,

JDK 13 is not supported by Gradle 6.[above] try to install JDK 8. and then go through the above mentioned steps.

[usama-zafar]

Yeah I did that recently and it worked for me too.

What didnt work for me was:
1- Migrating to other JDK versions
2- Opening the project in android studio and fixing the errors through auto-correct
3- Adding the "www" in maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }

Fix:
\yourProjectName\android then write the following command
gradlew clean (if the build is unsuccessful, rewrite the command until its successful)
Then react-native run-android ( make sure your emulator is running else make sure your device is connected with Developer options and USB debugging as ON)

[barmola]

I also tried 2 and 3 didn't worked for me too.

[ThadeusAjayi]

./gradlew clean
worked for me

[blindpirate]

Everyone,

I'm 100% sure that's syntax error in your build script and you need to paste your code here to get help, at least the lines which is reported error by compiler. We can't help you if you only say "same error".

Hi @toplongguodev, try running the following commands in this order:
-flutter channel stable
-flutter upgrade --force
-flutter pub cache repair
-cd
-flutter clean

I got the same problem when a cloned a project and turns out the problem was the different versions the other user was using.

[sachinr3238]

Hello,

This is my settings.gradle file
include ':app'
include ':capacitor-cordova-android-plugins'
project(':capacitor-cordova-android-plugins').projectDir = new File('./capacitor-cordova-android-plugins/')

apply from: '../capacitor.settings.gradle'

and I'm getting this error when I build the code
Gradle sync failed: Could not read script 'C:\'MYPROJECTLOCATION'\capacitor.settings.gradle' as it does not exist.

Can anyone help me out with this?

[dnistreanu]

The issue still occurs. Windows 10

[ravi-kolla]

gradlew clean worked for me.

This is an issue with how Gradle is automating the build and the current version of the JDK installed on your machine, follow these steps to fix it, the react native documentation states you need adoptopenjdk8, however you may have other conflicting JDK versions in the same directory.

Step one:

open up your terminal and navigate to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines by typing the following command:

cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

after you have done that type ls to see what files are included and take note of the versions.

incase you have one or multiple JDK files present like such:

adoptopenjdk-8.jdk jdk-16.jdk  jdk-8.jdk

then go head and delete them with the following command line :

sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-16.jdk 
 
sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-8.jdk

the only dependency you need is adoptopenjdk-8.jdk as mentioned in the react native docs

however delete that aswell and reinstall it after you have completed these steps:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk

after you have done so you can check if the files still exist by typing ls

if the files are deleted.

Step 2:

then run the following commands to insure all other links, plugins and files are deleted as-well from your Library:

run the following :

sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane
sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Oracle/Java

Step 3:

once you have done the following, reinstall the correct jdk as mentioned in the react native docs like so:

brew install --cask adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8

https://reactnative.dev/docs/_getting-started-macos-android

this may say adoptopenjdk-8.jdk is already installed, but go ahead and reinstall install it with:

brew reinstall adoptopenjdk8

At this point the error should be resolved and your build should work.

It is important to note that this is a build error, since react native uses Gradle to build automations, the conflicting of multiple jdk versions can cause your build to fail.

please refer to the following documentation:

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/userguide.html
