Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugRe

Question

I'm running react-native run-android and during the build this is the error I get. I'm using the latest version of android studio. A fresh example project I started with react-native init works when I run it via android so that tells me I installed android studio correctly, but I'm coming up short on why I can't get through with an existing project.

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

Answer 1

From your error it is telling you that you are using the following resource mipmap/ic_notif in your AndroidManifest.xml but it cannot find it in your res folder.

You should check that names and references that you are using for your resources. Specifically the one that you are probably using for notifications.

Also check that your close tags are correct in your AndroidManifest.xml as a missed placed > can cause errors.
