:app:dexDebug

Hello there:

After going through the following: http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html

And then added react-native-svg to the mix I get the following error:

:app:dexDebug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

Any ideas how I could go about resolving this?

The regular project runs fine through the android emulator, but as soon as I try adding this module it gives me the above error.

here is my JSON file

{
  "name": "AwesomeProject",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "15.3.2",
    "react-native": "0.36.1",
    "react-native-svg": "^4.3.2"
  },
  "jest": {
    "preset": "jest-react-native"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-jest": "16.0.0",
    "babel-preset-react-native": "1.9.0",
    "jest": "16.0.2",
    "jest-react-native": "16.1.0",
    "react-test-renderer": "15.3.2"
  }
}

And tried both linking using react-native and nrpm which both tells me that the linking was successful.

Would much appreciate some help with this.

Cheers,

Just encountered the same issue, simply clean your builds:

cd android
./gradlew clean
