I'm trying to run my react native app on my usb connected android device. Yesterday it worked perfectly, but today, without changing anything, npx react-native run-android
command fails with this error ('.../android/app/build.gradle'):
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
Could not create task ':app:copyDownloadableDepsToLibs'.
Could not create task of type 'Copy'. org/gradle/api/internal/file/copy/DefaultCopySpec
My attempt of cd android
and then ./gradlew clean
also failed with the same error. I tried to delete the build folder, I also ran npm install
but no success.
Here is my ...android/app/build.gradle file:
apply plugin: "com.android.application"

/**
* The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
* and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
* These basically call `react-native bundle` with the correct arguments during the Android build
* cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
* bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
* and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
* `apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"` line.
