More information is needed here but you can try the following quick fixes.

Please note that the below terminal commands are based on Mac and Linux operating systems.

Run npx react-native run-android after each command below to see which fix works for you.

FIX-1:: Clean stale build & start a fresh one

  cd ./android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..

FIX-2:: Re-install project packages

  rm -rf ./node_modules
  npm install or yarn install

FIX-3:: Update your Gradle (Gradle is an android build system).

1. Run this command again,

     cd ./android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..
   

2. Update distributionUrl on android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to,

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7.1-all.zip

3. Update gradle tools version on android/build.gradle

   buildscript {
     ...
     dependencies {
         ...
         classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0') // Use this verison
   

NOTE: Each command above should be executed from the project root folder. If none of these works then please leave a comment!
