Gradle Build issue while trying to run a react-native project using run-android command

Answer 1

it looks like the following plugin is causing an error in your gradle build:

org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.2.11.

Maybe you are applying a wrong gradle plugin. I would suggest to read the documentation that suggests you to apply this plugin.
