Can not generate Android Apk from React Native Project on Windows

Answer 1

first of all AAPT is the Android Asset Packaging Tool . There are some rules about how to name your assets. For example if I remember well you can't use upper case letter in the name. So change pictureNew.png to picturenew.png.

Then try to upgrade the sdk, I am using this right now :

 compileSdkVersion 26
 buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"

and:

 compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2"

And check if you have included in your path the platform-tools from your android SDK, and the JAVA sdk path.
