cli: react-native doctor does not find ANDROID_HOME, ANDRIOD SDK and JDK

This worked for me on windows 10:

Install android command line tools from android studio SDK manager (SDK tools tab). then add <YOUR_ANDROID_SDK_PATH>\cmdline-tools\latest\bin to PATH environment variables

This worked for me on windows 10:

Install android command line tools from android studio SDK manager (SDK tools tab). then add <YOUR_ANDROID_SDK_PATH>\cmdline-tools\latest\bin to PATH environment variables

Also work for MacOS. For me, I just download Android SDK Command-line Tools : Android Studio -> Preferences -> search for sdk -> Click SDK Tools -> Tick on Android SDK Command-line Tools-> Click OK to download. Then, the doctor should be able to find Android SDK.

@its-kos I think I may have a solution for you, the same thing was troubling me and this approach fixed it. Little disclaimer, I’m using a mac…

Instead of installing the “latest” SDK Command-line Tools, install a specific version - 10.0 worked for me. You can achieve this by checking the “Show Package Details” at the bottom right of the window. After that, you need to supplement your $PATH so it contains:

<YOUR_ANDROID_SDK_PATH>\cmdline-tools\10.0\bin - note the exact version instead of the latest.

Hope this helps.

I have the same issue on Mac OS X 10.15.6 – I have loaded Android Studio which reports SDK is installed – and yet the doctor (version 4.12.0) cannot find it. (output follows)

I find it annoying that it’s idea of fixing things is to send me to a link that takes me to a page that has zero mention of the Android SDK – at the least it could tell me where it’s looking so that I could link the installed Android SDK into where it wants it…

I have set the ANDROID_HOME to the string that was in the Android Studio SDK settings pane, as well as to it’s parent directory. No Luck.

Please, where is the doctor looking for an sdk on the Mac??

This is what I did to fix it. I’m using react-native 0.72.4.

1. Add cmdline-tools to your $PATH

export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/<latest>/bin:$PATH # replace <latest> with the version you have

1. Check if there are errors with your SDK

$ sdkmanager --list
Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli
	java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android/sdklib/tool/sdkmanager/SdkManagerCli has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

1. In my case, I have to download the correct java version based on the class file version reported by the error.

1. Done

This apparently does not work for me on Win 11.

I have everything and everything is on path. I dont know what else.

I still can’t understand how should i add the line, someone can tell me?

(export Users/user_name/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin) - is it right?

cmdline-tools\latest\bin

worked for me, this is mac complete

vim ~/.zshrc

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools\latest\bin

After trying all of the solutions here, this was the only one that worked for my mac (with intel chip). Seems to be some issue with cmdline-tools v11

This is what I did to fix it. I’m using react-native 0.72.4.

1. Add cmdline-tools to your $PATH

thanks too much! it realy help me . I try to install the java version 17 and then try to run npx react-native doctor, it works , and I spend 4hours to run yarn android , thanks gold , it finally run

I managed to solve it. Make sure you have the JAVA_HOME set up in both “User” and “System” variables. After adding both it managed to pick it up.

i try all the solutions of above, but the issue still persists, the error is:

Hello Everyone, I am a Windows User.

I made all the steps above and beyond, just by accident, I ran the npm start without having all the steps of the react-native doctor and everything worked perfectly.

I just configured the ANDROID_HOME and added the sdk/platforms in the path like the react-native documentation: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup and forget about what the react-native doctor said.

Hope this help someone.

@osefatul ./gradlew commands are working fine, no errors

And now the SDK is not recognized again WTF

Went back to cmdline-tools/latest, still N/A
