Some story

During the debugging of this "multiple Koltin" issue, I found out that my NDK wasn't install. Hence I went to SDK Manager and install the NDK (Side by side). Then issue of toolchain occurred, shown as below.

No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: arm-linux-androideabi

Fixed was done by downloading older NDK version, android-ndk-r19c and pointed the NDK path in my local.properties.

Local.properties

sdk.dir=/Users/path/Library/Android/sdk
ndk.dir=/Users/path/Library/Android/android-ndk-r19c

---

TLDR

What I've tried

1. ./gradlew clean && ./gradlew assembleRelease
2. Appending the following code + Step 1

# FILE 1: Gradle.properties
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

# FILE 2: app/build.gradle ( under android{} )
dexOptions {
        incremental true
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

My project env

react: 16.13.1 => 16.13.1 
react-native: 0.63.2 => 0.63.2

My Project Structure

Any idea what causes this issue and how to fix this? 🆘

Solution

UNBELIEVABLE FIXED, seems to be a 63.x issue? As there's another person having this issue after upgrading from 62.2 to 63.3

The fixed was done as suggested here

Solved this issue by deleting the .gradle folder from /android and again run npm run android, and it solved this error.
