Please make changes as per below to resolve this error.
>Install Java SDK version: 14 or above.
JDK Download link: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk14-downloads.html
>In gradle-wrapper.properties
please use grade version 6.3 or above.
For e.g:distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip

This is because of the gradle version.
-
Go to:
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
. -
Change a version of the course by this:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
The console outputs:
Welcome to Gradle 6.3!
Here are the highlights of this release:
- Java 14 support
- Improved error messages for unexpected failures
For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/6.3/release-notes.html
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

First watch this and try reinstall - https://youtu.be/trHinrIm6DM
After if you get "Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper"
1.install Java SDK 14 and update env path.
2."[Your RN or Flutter Project Folder]\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties" this file edit as ...(upgrade gradle version)

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
3.run gradlew in cmd path "[Your RN or Flutter Project Folder]\android"
4.it takes time.after if shows "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" you can "flutter run" in ur project folder
Yeah It's work
Solution 4 - Java
What was helpful for me (MacBook):
- first go to File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate and Restart
- then check the value of JAVA_HOME enviroment variable, by calling
echo $JAVA_HOME
(it should be equal to "/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home") - if it is not, change its value by calling
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"
Solution 5 - Java
I faced this issue because of lower version of Jdk. Previously I installed Jdk 1.7 and Android Studio 1.5.1, I got this issue. If you install Android Studio 1.5.1 or above JDK 1.8 required
So Installing JDK 1.8 solved this issue.
Solution 6 - Java
I'm using Pop OS 20.04 and I have Java versions 8, 11 and 14 installed on my notebook.
This error was happening to me when version 14 was standard.
When I switched to using version 11 as the default, the error no longer occurred.
sudo update-alternatives --config java

In gradle-wrapper.properties file, updating the Gradle to 6.3 solved the problem on Mac OS Catalina
> distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-bin.zip
Solution 8 - Java
- Go to
\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties
. - Update the installing distribution version (all.zip) of Gradle in
distributionUrl
. As an example for Gradle version 6.8:
> distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8-all.zip

I face this issue when I was Building my Flutter Application. This error is due to the gradle version that you are using in your Android Project. Follow the below steps:
-
Install jdk version 14.0.2 from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk14-downloads.html .
-
If using Windows open C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin , Copy the Path and now update the path ( Reffer to this article for updating the path : https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ .
-
Open the Project that you are working on [Your Project]\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties and now Replace the distributionUrl with the below line:
> distributionUrl = https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
Now Save the File (Ctrl + S), Go to the console and run the command
>flutter run
It will take some time, but the issue that you were facing will be solved.

In my case the problem was that my version of Gradle was incompatible with JDK 14, but despite in project structure dialog was selected JDK 8.
It was necessarily to set JDK home for Gradle separately in gradle.propperties
:
org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_251.jdk/Contents/Home
Solution 11 - Java
The problem in my case was in the discrepancy between the Gradle version installed globally and the one required by React Native. To fix it, I had to update the folder android/gradle/wrapper
from the current 6.5 RN version from GH.
Solution 12 - Java
I fixed it just by editing the gradle-wrapper.properties
file.
You must go to the project folder, then /android/grandle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
.
In DistributionUrl, change to https \: //services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.4.1-all.zip
.
Solution 13 - Java
If you are using jdk 16 downgrade to 14 and gradle-wrapper.properties use 6.3 don't forget to upgrade build gradle in build.gradle to 4+
Solution 14 - Java
So I also got the same error on my system when I Cloned a project from github. The project that i created on my system worked without any errors. So if you are also in similar situation this could help 1-Go to this path
project-name/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
2-Replace everything inside with this
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
Solution 15 - Java
So, you are in 2022, and changing the distribution URL does not work?
Yeah, React Native is such a pain. Make sure you have followed the React Native official guide, then check the Java version with:
java -version
Check compatibility matrix of Gradle versions. Change distribution URL to the version accordingly, from:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-X.X-all.zip
to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-Y.Y-all.zip
where Y.Y
is the suitable version for your Java version.
And now, check that $JAVA_HOME
is set:
echo $JAVA_HOME
Damn, is empty!
Yes, this environment variable is required, and on Internet you will see examples of exporting this path, for example for MacOS:
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"
Be careful, this is not always the correct path. Check it navigating using cd
command. For me the path was:
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home"
Spot the difference. This could be anywhere, so check it carefully as this is the last step that will allow you to run your project with yarn example android
Tested on: macOS Bug Sur, version 11.4. Intel Core i5. Good luck with M1.
PS: I hate React Native required configurations.
Solution 16 - Java
When you upgrade to the latest version of the gradle in the gradle-wrapper.properties file
i.e. distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.6.1-bin.zip
please do not forget to change the gradle version in the build.gradle file as well
wrapper {
gradleVersion = '6.6.1'
}
Solution 17 - Java
I get this error when I open a new project with VS Code & Flutter. I solved the problem by editing the gradle.build and gradle-wrapper.properties files.
Edit android>build.gradle
like this:
> dependencies { > classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0' > classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 4.3.3' //add this line > classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin: kotlin-gradle-plugin: $ kotlin_version" }
Edit gradle-wrapper.properties
> distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
Solution 18 - Java
I also had the same problem and and it looks like this problem is due to the gradle version in the project directory
- This is the version of my jdk:
openjdk version "15-ea" 2020-09-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 15-ea+32-Ubuntu-220.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 15-ea+32-Ubuntu-220.04, mixed mode, sharing)
- Please check gradle whether it is installed. This is the version of my gradle:
------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 6.8
------------------------------------------------------------
Build time: 2021-01-08 16:38:46 UTC
Revision: b7e82460c5373e194fb478a998c4fcfe7da53a7e
Kotlin: 1.4.20
Groovy: 2.5.12
Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.9 compiled on September 27 2020
JVM: 15-ea (Private Build 15-ea+32-Ubuntu-220.04)
OS: Linux 5.4.0-65-generic amd64
-
Then open the gradle-wrapper.properties file in your project folder, in the folder:
project name/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
-
Change the gradle version. Here I changed the gradle version to 6.5
The video version can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcclcscUpV0
Solution 19 - Java
I had the same issue when building the Flutter project, I edited this file gradle-wrapper.properties
location: android -> grade\wrapper -> gradle-wrapper.properties
from this to:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip
to this:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7-all.zip
but was not solved, I did flutter doctor
and found some error in the android toolchain. I open android studio and installed "Android SDK Command-line tools" in SDK manager.

and was solved.

This solution is for M1 Mac User
Find your local Java version by typing /usr/libexec/java_home -V
. If didn't exist, install the latest ARM Java version here
Set Java_Home path (in my case jdk-17.0.1.jdk) by typing
/usr/libexec/java_home /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
Type all of these in terminal
> cd /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre ln -s ../jre jdk ln -s "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin" jdk
Finally run flutter doctor -v to see all the details changes
Solution 21 - Java
gradle-wrapper.properties please use grade version 6.3 or above
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
../android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
Solution 22 - Java
For me the solution was to upgrade the gradle version to 6.3 from the android project structure (java 14.0.1 is already installed on my pc).
Solution 23 - Java
(Solution) I tried my first flutter app in android studio , i was getting same error " Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper"
open build.gradle and update dependencies
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
or just hover over com.android.tools.build:grandle:(your-version)
Solution 24 - Java
When I tried "react-native run-android" I was receiving errors "Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper" + "Failed to install the app. Make sure you have the Android development environment set up"....
Solved it by updating the gradle in Android Studio. When I opened my project in Android Studio it showed a message asking to update Gradle, and I just clicked.
Solution 25 - Java
It is not enough to change distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties, you also need to change gradle version in your project structure.
- Go to gradle-wrapper.properties and change:
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8-all.zip
- Go to Android studio -> file -> project structure
Change gradle verison to 6.8 or whatever verison you selected that is compatible with your jdk.
Solution 26 - Java
Resolve It:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.0.1-all.zip
and I changed it into:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0-all.zip
