BUILD FAILED: can't install the app when i run npm run android

Question

I am trying to build a mobile app using reactnative and testing on android emulator but when i run the app using npm run android it fails . I tried modifyiing the gradle.build file (upgrading sdk version to 31 ..) but nothing works. npm install works perfectly with no vulnerabilities.
This is the output of the command :

>react-native run-android

Go to your babel.config and adding "plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin']".

Your babel.config.js file should look like this

module.exports = {
  presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
  plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin'],
};

check in your android/app/build.gradle if you have the correct configuration in order to apply react-native-vector-icons. that config should look like this:

project.ext.vectoricons = [
    iconFontNames: [ 'Ionicons.ttf' ] // Name of the font files you want to copy
]

apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"

Try cleaning your project: using the following commands. Run one by one (note if you are using yarn you can change npm install and instead use yarn install)

watchman watch-del-all
rm -rf yarn.lock package-lock.json node_modules
rm -rf android/app/build
rm ios/Pods ios/Podfile.lock 
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
npm install && cd ios && pod update && cd ..
npm start -- --reset-cache

Use the following command in your terminal to run your project:

npx react-native run-android ... for android 

npx react-native run-ios ... for ios

It didn't work, here's the output: error Failed to install the app. Error: Command failed: gradlew.bat app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Build file 'C:\Users\*****\react-navigation-v6-mix\node_modules\react-native-reanimated\android\build.gradle' line: 152 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-reanimated'. > Could not get unknown property 'rnMinorVersion' for project ':react-native-reanimated' of type org.gradle.api.Project. – Emna Gharsalli Jun 23 '22 at 02:11
Go to your babel.config and Just adding "plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin']", your babel.config.js file should look like this: module.exports = { presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'], plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin'], }; – Jun De Leon Jun 23 '22 at 19:05
I edited my answer in order to you see it better. You have to clean your project again. – Jun De Leon Jun 23 '22 at 19:08

step 1. Create a folder 'fonts' in following path 'android\app\src\main\assets'. make sure 'f' of 'fonts' is small.

step 2. Copy all files from 'node_modules\react-native-vector-icons\Fonts' and past it in 'android\app\src\main\assets\fonts'.

step 3. Delete your existing app from emulator and run again.
