I faced the same problem. npx --quiet react-native config or npx.cmd --quiet react-native config That command, if you execute in the root directory of your react native project, will produce JSON output (if everything is configured correctly). The problem is, I did not locate my react native project in the root folder of the git repository. After then, I created another git repo and set the root folder of the repo to be the root folder of the react native project, and everything is ok then.

On my side issue 838 allowed me to solve the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled globally:

npm uninstall -g react-native react-native-cli npm install -g react-native react-native-cli react-native start --reset-cache Then cleaned the project and built again.

Don’t be too harsh if it doesn’t work for you 😉 Also, I am not 100% it helps in this case, but the interesting read that led me to the solution was issue #804, because at core it seems to be related to the build script not calling npx from the root React Native directory.
