Environment Setup Error

Hi, I am Muhammad Umair, JS developer and three days ago I decided to shift to app development with react-native. I want to guide some of you to resolve your errors which I faced with react 0.79.3.

‘‘Pre-reqs must be installed and set up, Node LTS, Environement Variables and others, for complete guidance watch this video from Sir Hitesh: https://youtu.be/kGtEax1WQFg?si=rCaS5-Zq7mesikZ0
Watch 2 and third both videos”.

Issue: Gradle mismatch and unexpected error when executing the app on android emulator:
1: Make sure to include local.properties file.
2: If the gradle is outdated , follow these steps:

Go to : android/app/build/gradle/gradle.wrapper.properties and change the distribution url with latest gradle version.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.10.2-all.zip

Next step is: go to build.gradle and in the dependecies block change the class path to latest it will looks something like this: You can use this as well.

dependencies {
       classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.0") // Or latest supported by Gradle

        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion")
    }

‘‘IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY ERROR RELATED TO .kts WHERE IT SAYS, CANNOT SET VALUE OF CONST… JUST REMOVE THOSE LINES THEY ARE NO COMPULSORY AS MUCH”
