Error on creating very very simple app using react-native-camera

Question

I recently wanted to create a react-native app with camera and started working with react-native-camera so I just did this:

$ react-native init testApp2
$ npm install --save react-native-camera
$ react-native link react-native-camera
$ react-native run-android

After the last line I'm getting weird outputs (below)(I have Android studio installed on my pc and exact errors are created by the Android studio when I go for building apk)

Scanning folders for symlinks in C:\Users\seyye_000\Documents\testApp2\node_modules (31ms)

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

I've tried every possible way to play with Android studio to get this error fixed but I'm really tired and don't know what to do next. :\

Here is my package.json:

{
  "name": "testApp2",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "16.3.1",
    "react-native": "0.55.4",
    "react-native-camera": "^1.1.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-jest": "22.4.4",
    "babel-preset-react-native": "4.0.0",
    "jest": "22.4.4",
    "react-test-renderer": "16.3.1"
  },
  "jest": {
    "preset": "react-native"
  }
}

if you know what's wrong with this pleaase tell me, I'm starting to go really crazy...

Because I don't know how to put all my code here I just uploaded it on GitHub, HERE is the link to it.

@shivam i git-pushed all of the project files to a github repository,the link is in the last line. tnx for helping — Sayyed Alireza Rezaei Asl, May 21 '18 at 22:48
have you tried enabling 'multiDexEnabled ' in your app/build.gradle — Shivam, May 22 '18 at 05:28
yes and it just gave me another errors and i just could'nt tolerate nomore and decided to go for native modules and not using react-native-camera but thanks for your helping and sorry that i changed my strategy and did'nt answered here sooner — Sayyed Alireza Rezaei Asl, May 23 '18 at 17:42

Try enabling multiDex

In app/build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
       multiDexEnabled true
    }
}
