Getting React-Viro Build working on android in windows environment

Hello, I am new to react-native development.

I have been trying to get a React-Viro project to successfully build onto my mobile S8 android device and have been struggling a lot. I am in a windows 10 environment using git-bash.

First Approach I have been following the steps on the react-viro quickstart website.

1. react-native init ProjectAR --version0.57.7
2. cd ViroSample
3. npm install -S -E react-viro
4. copy the files from node_modules\react-viro\bin\files\javascript* to the root
5. In App.js assign API Key.
6. In index.android.js change to the name of my project AppRegistry.registerComponent('ProjectAR', () => App);

When I run react-native run-android I get the error on my phone

Unable to resolve module 'react-native/Libraries/DeprecatedPropTypes/DeprecatedStyleSheetPropType from …\ProjectAR\node_modules\react-viro\components\ViroImage.js

Module ‘react-native/Libraries/DeprecatedPropTypes/DeprecatedStyleSheetPropType’ does not exist in the current Haste module map

Second Approach

1. npm install -g react-viro-cli
2. react-viro init NewArProject
3. cd NewArProject
4. ./setup-ide.sh android
5. In App.js assign API Key.

When I run react-native run-android I get the error in my terminal

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: Task ‘installDebug’ not found in project ‘:app’. Some candidates are: ‘installArDebug’, ‘installGvrDebug’, ‘installOvrDebug’.

I go into my android directory and do ./gradlew app:installArDebug

But I get an error

Execution failed for task ‘:app:generateArDebugBuildConfig’.

Please help. Thanks

Hi @kolesnikovakate, @jungley, To solve your issue please add the --variant option to the react-native run-android command. If you try the following you should be able to run without error:

react-native run-android --variant=gvrDebug

Let me know if that doesn’t work for you 😃

try -> react-native init ProjectAR --version0.59.3

We recently upgraded to RN 0.59.3 and this section of the documentation was not updated. It is now corrected
