@msand I’ve tried your solution with the changeset, after performing cd android && ./gradlew clean and then going back to try react-native run-android I get the same error, but a little shorter:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> Failed to execute aapt

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 6s

Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details.

Do you have more advice or insights?

hi cd into android and run " gradlew clean ". and run npx react-native run-android, worked for me it should for you also.

VINAY322 on Jun 25, 2020

react-native run-android --no-jetifier

worked for me.

what do you mean clean ? i build success ,second get the same error

Changing the version may resolve the problem. But it cannot run on API 23 of Android i.e Marshmallow right. When you launch the created android app. It only support Nougat and after versions.

Kindly guide me to resolve the same issue I am facing now
