Problem running React Native on the device

Question

I'm trying to run a React Native project on my Android phone and it's giving me this problem when I run 'npx react-native run-android'. But it works normally if I use an Android Studio simulator:

Answer 1

At the 6th last line of your terminal Caused by: java.io.IOException: Requested internal only, but not enough space . This is basically happens when you don't have enough space in your physical device to install and run the app.

Make sure you have developer mode on with debugger turned on, and you have enough space left on your physical android device. Try checking all attached devices by using adb devices (you must install adb first if you don't have). Then forcefully close the simulator or in case for windows or linux emulator.

Then run npx react-native run-android

I think this is going to work perfectly for you.

Try to open the android path with Android Studio and build with it, probaly the console will show where is the error.

With Android Studio you can also go to:

File > Ivalidate Caches/Restart...

And click at Invalidate and Restart. After that try to run your project agai with:

npx react-native run-android
