React-native, Error: Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'. > Error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:

Description

I followed the installation steps at react-native-getting-started. When I finally execute the last step react-native run-android I get an error message like this.

The error message says: Execution failed for task ‘:app:mergeDebugResources’.

Error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:

Please help me fix this. Thankyou.

Hey there! I’m new to react-native as well. A similar issue occurred for me too. To resolve it, avoid building the project in “C:\Windows\System32”. It’s probably due to write permissions in that area.

@prasang7 Hello. I am new to react-native and have undergone the installation process on Windows 10 in the past week. I tried replicating your error, and I have found that it happens when I create a project in the same “C:\Windows\system32” directory as you have done. On the other hand, it does not give me any problems when I create and run under "C:\Users\user_name_here". I am not sure why it does this. Try it out if this issue is still occurring.
