Unable to run latest react-native app on android

Question

I have created a fresh app from react-native-cli.

The generated boilerplate had the following versions.

React-native : 0.57.8

React : 16.6.3

Gradle Version : 4.4

Java Version (JDK) : 1.8.0_191-b12

I am unable to execute react-native run-android

I get the following error

• What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':app'. Could not generate a proxy class for class com.android.build.gradle.tasks.BuildArtifactReportTask.

I want to know whether the error is due to react version or gradlew

PS Application builds and installs on device / emulator when running through Android Studio but not when running via react-native-cli

Please update the JDK version after that go to the inside android folder and use this cmd

./gradlew clean

after cleaning gradle try to build again.
