Cannot build android app - "Could not open settings remapped class cache "

Development

That's the error i am seeing after trying to run the android app from Android Studio.

(base) MacBook-Air:ReactNativeClient siddhantsehgal$ npm run start-android

Joplin@0.8.0 start-android /Users/siddhantsehgal/Desktop/joplin/ReactNativeClient
react-native run-android

warn The following packages use deprecated "rnpm" config that will stop working from next release:

  • react-native-push-notification: GitHub - zo0r/react-native-push-notification: React Native Local and Remote Notifications
    Please notify their maintainers about it. You can find more details at cli/docs/configuration.md at main · react-native-community/cli · GitHub.
    error React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually:
  • react-native-camera (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-camera")
  • react-native-document-picker (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-document-picker")
  • react-native-file-viewer (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-file-viewer")
  • react-native-fs (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-fs")
  • react-native-image-picker (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-image-picker")

  • react-native-version-info (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-version-info")
  • rn-fetch-blob (to unlink run: "react-native unlink rn-fetch-blob")
    This is likely happening when upgrading React Native from below 0.60 to 0.60 or above. Going forward, you can unlink this dependency via "react-native unlink " and it will be included in your app automatically. If a library isn't compatible with autolinking, disregard this message and notify the library maintainers.

Thanks. But i followed most of the stackoverflow posts but couldn’t solve my problem by most of them

Can you please tell me what SDK Platform, Android Build Tools and Android SDK version you have installed? You check it in Android Studio > Preferences > Android SDK

5

Here you can see that.

Okay it took me almost a night. But i solved the problem. The problem was in the version of Java you’re using. If you’re using java version 13 or so, the current or latest which you can check by typing java -version in terminal, but it requires Java 8 to run the application. So you can add this line,
alias j8="export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`; java -version" and add it to the .bash_profile.rc file of your system and then you can switch easily between java version 8 and current.
Just enter command : j8 in to your terminal and it will switch to java version 8 and then run npm run start-android to start android application.
