I want to start a react project.

    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-native": "0.74.1"

I have installed all the necessary tools:

command : npx react-native doctor

Common

 ✓ Node.js - Required to execute JavaScript code

 ✓ npm - Required to install NPM dependencies

 ✓ Metro - Required for bundling the JavaScript code

Android

 ✓ Adb - Required to verify if the android device is attached correctly

 ✓ JDK - Required to compile Java code

 ✓ Android Studio - Required for building and installing your app on Android

 ✓ ANDROID_HOME - Environment variable that points to your Android SDK installation

 ✓ Gradlew - Build tool required for Android builds

 ✓ Android SDK - Required for building and installing your app on Android


Errors:   0
Warnings: 0

And I have set all necessary paths for tools in system variables. sdk , java , gradle , …

but when run :

command : npx react-native run-android

result :

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
