React Native 0.58.X not running on Android Simulator nor Android Device

See original GitHub issue

🐛 Bug Report

Hi! I have been banging my head against a wall for a while now with this one. As the title mentions, I am using React-Native 0.58.3 and when I try to run on any Android Simulator (regardless if I’ve installed the app on it before or not) I get a familiar error:

React native version mismatch.
JavaScript version: 0.56.1
Native versions: 0.58.3

So I tried everything the internet said to do…and more: blow out my node_modules, reset my watchman cache, confirm my build.gradle is forcing the react-native version, etc. I then started to clear the emulator cache, delete the emulator and create a new one, try it on another developer’s machine, but to no avail.

Update: I now ran into this issue on a physical device (Samsung Galaxy S7, Version 6.0.1).

To Reproduce

Run react-native version 0.58.3 on an android simulator. Make sure you remove node modules and then reinstall them and restart your metro bundler.

Expected Behavior

The code works.
