How I Fixed React Native Android Gradle Build Errors



Recently, I encountered persistent Gradle build errors while working on a React Native Android project. The errors were related to plugin resolution and missing native build artifacts, such as com.facebook.react.settings and foojay-resolver.

Symptoms

  • Gradle clean failed with plugin resolution errors
  • Native build artifacts missing or corrupted
  • Errors referencing metadata.bin and FoojayToolchainsPlugin

Solution Steps

  1. Stop all running Gradle daemons:
    ./gradlew stop
  2. Delete the native build cache:
    rm -rf .cxx
  3. Clean and rebuild the project with refreshed dependencies:
    ./gradlew clean build --refresh-dependencies

Result

After these steps, the build succeeded and all plugin and native dependency errors were resolved. If you encounter similar issues, try this sequence before diving into more complex troubleshooting!
