I've followed the setup guide for react-native android on Mac OS X. I have the emulator running. When I run react-native run-android I get the following:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

I have all the necessary Android SDK packages installed including the build tools and the support repository. I'm noticing that it's looking for a directory in my home called .m2, which doesn't exist. I've never needed Maven to do android development. Do I need to install it to use react-native?

  • you probably do have a .m2 directory. (it is not visible in finder with the default settings). It is were the support libraries are, under a maven repo, which is how gradle satisfies the compile dependencies (other dependencies are satisfied using online repos, like maven central, but android support is local).

  • you just need to update the support repository in the SDK Tools section. Commented Sep 28, 2015 at 18:12
  • @njzk2 I found the answer, I just can't accept it, but thanks. Commented Sep 28, 2015 at 22:56

Just to be absolutely safe, I tried updating the android packages using android update sdk --no-ui.

Apparently the software I installed using android weren't the most up to date. Running the update fixed the issue.

Thanks a lot, Hugo. I've installed the repo from SDK manager but didn't work. Running the update command solved the issue!
