Question

When I ran the App from Android Studio or cli, android build fails with the following error,

Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Calling `[node, /Users/icebit-lab-06/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/build/bin.js, config]` finished with an exception. Error message: groovy.json.JsonException: Unable to determine the current character, it is not a string, number, array, or object

./gradlew clean

but this also failed with the same error
