I try couple of time but the problems is the same it get stuck at same over and over again, can't find any solution, do any one knows how to fix it?

Answer 1

The solution is to create a file named local.properties in the android folder of the react-native project and write this line in it:

sdk.dir=<the path to your android sdk>

example:

sdk.dir=/Users/anmol/Library/Android/sdk

I am using Mac, so the path will vary for windows & linux.

you can get the sdk android path via android studio: Android Studio - How to Change Android SDK Path
