The new version of react-native-reanimated (v2.10.0) has this issue as discussed here and here . A PR has been created to fix this issue. So till a new version is released, you can try these workarounds -

Install CMake 3.18.1 using CLI or Android Studio.

CLI

$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager "cmake;3.18.1"

Android Studio

Go to Tools > SDK Manager > SDK Tools > Show Package Details and select CMake version 3.18.1 and Apply.

Rebuild the app. If it's still failing then downgrade the package to previous version and rebuild.

yarn add react-native-reanimated@2.9.1
OR
npm install react-native-reanimated@2.9.1
