I'm new to React Native and want to run my first template app in an AVD (Android Virtual Device) VM. I've started the VM and it's running. I'm running "npx react-native start" in a separate command window that has admin rights. I'm running the command "npx react-native run-android" in Visual Studio Code, but then it fails with the following error:
Execution failed for task ':expo-linear-gradient:mergeDebugNativeLibs'.
Couldn't delete stale output file
I've looked endlessly online but can't seem to find anything related to this issue. I've deleted my "build" file in my android folder, rebooted my pc, etc. nothing seemd to work.
Can someone help me please?
