react-native: [Android] can't run application - command config not recognized

You can temporarily bypass the issue by forcing the @react-native-community/cli-platform-android to use the older version 3.0.2.

dependencies: {
    ...
    "@react-native-community/cli-platform-android": "3.0.2",
    ...
}

I looked at the file the error was coming from - project_root/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle, and in line 194, the second parameter to the getCommandOutput function was commented, so it was null. And this is why the error was - :ReactNative:Running 'npx --quiet --no-install react-native config' command from 'null' directory failed., I removed the comment from the dir parameter and the build now works.

But why does it only error for me and a few other people?

Edit: The app runs but I only get a blank white screen

deleting node_modules and reinstalling dependencies doesn’t work for me. still the same error

@Elias-Graf I just tried installing 0.61.2, still the same error for me

Yes I have rebuilt the app and ran yarn. I don’t think restarting the computer is necessary

@Elias-Graf My version already doesn’t have the ^ - "react-native": "0.61.5"

Tried removing the ^ from the react-native version and reinstalling but got same error

I temporarily resolved this by changing the react-nativeversion in the package.json from ^0.61.2 to 0.61.2 and then running npm install

there is no react-native cli global package anymore

more info at https://github.com/react-native-community/cli#usage-in-an-existing-react-native-project

What output does react-native --version give you?

mine is:

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.61.2

Which seems to be working, but any newer version of react-native will break the run-android command. (at least for me)

You can temporarily bypass the issue by forcing the @react-native-community/cli-platform-android to use the older version 3.0.2.

dependencies: {
    ...
    "@react-native-community/cli-platform-android": "3.0.2",
    ...
}

had same issue, this workaround has worked for me too
