IOException 文件太大，在 Mac 上下载 gradle 时运行 react-native run-android 命令

Question

I am in the process of setting up my development environment for react-native android development.

I have already followed all the steps as mentioned in installation guide: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup

I am getting the following exception while executing npx react-native run-android

Looks like it was the OS which was complaining that the file is too big. Probably there is a limit on Maximum size of files created by the shell. ulimit -f 2097152 which will set the limit to 2 GB (2097152 kB = 2 GB). This solved the problem for me.
