Answer 1

If I read https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/10248 correctly, this is an incompatibility with some Gradle versions and some JVM versions. I had a similar issue with Android SDK. You basically have two options:

1. Downgrade your JVM to eg 1.8 - or install an alternative JVM
2. Upgrade Gradle to >= 6.5

In my case, I set the JVM version to 1.8 and it worked flawlessly afterwards.

JetBrains Academy projects work on Java 11. Java 13 is not supported yet .

Please make sure that JDK 11 is selected in 中选择了 JDK 11 . 。

Also, ensure that the project has JDK 11 selected as Project SDK in .。

You can download OpenJDK 11 from here .

I was getting the same error when using either Mac(macOS Big Sur) and Ubuntu(20.04 LTS) and I was able to resolve it by doing the following:

Go to /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file in your RN project. Find the line that starts with distributionUrl and change the gradle version into gradle-6.4.1-all.zip .

FROM:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle- 5.4.1 -all.zip

TO:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle- 6.4.1 -all.zip

See sample illustration below:
