Hello I'm a new member and I've followed the steps as given in Build.md for setting up react native app for android on my windows 11 pc but it is showing this error and unable to build the app.

D:\ReactNative\joplin\packages\app-mobile\android>gradlew installDebug

Alternatively, I also tried running the command "gradlew.bat installDebug" as mentioned in BUILD.md but it is showing the error given below and app is not built again.

Did you run yarn install from the root of the project?

Yes. I ran 'yarn install' and it installed node modules in my project. But still it is not working.

I am getting a different error but then I'm on linux and my jdk version is probably different from yours.

If you want to debug the app, you could instead use yarn start, this seems to work for me.
You will then need to run the app from Android studio and it'll connect to the server running locally to get js code.

Also, try running with --info

The build started to work after I switched to JDK 17, so maybe try that.
