There is an info when running

react-native run-android command

like that info Running jetifier to migrate libraries to AndroidX. You can disable it using "--no-jetifier" flag.

With

react-native run-android --no-jetifier

command, project opens correctly but I dont know what happens if jetifier stopped.

You can run react-native run-android --no-jetifier

[niedem]

You can run react-native run-android --no-jetifier

Yeah, but some libs require jetifier

[kempoo]

You can run react-native run-android --no-jetifier

Yes, but my real scenario is that I have a bunch of libs that fail without jetifier. I've found some workarounds like this, but I find them inconsistent as it may cause other problems on further RN upgrades.

Hey guys, nothing working here yet!
For some reason, I receive the following error: "Failed to run jetifier."

My environment is the following:

• Node: 12.6.0
• NPM: 6.9.0
• React Native CLI: 2.0.1
• React Native: 0.60.1
• OS: Windows 10

Can someone please help me? I need Jetifier in my project!

[damianjakubiuk]

maybe it will help someone

1. npm i jetifier -D
2. add script "jetify": "jetify"
3. npm run jetify
4. react-native run-android --no-jetifier

This is an issue with the CLI. Looks like jetifier/bin/jetify is not found on Windows. Can somebody with Windows machine investigate? Here's the code responsible: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/672986873848e15f29d60cc0daa1c7b5d795d390/packages/platform-android/src/commands/runAndroid/index.js#L71

@jaycobbs I tried it and, with some changes, it worked!
I just had to run:
npx jetify
Followed by:
react-native run-android --no-jetifier
And it compiled successfully!

But, I have some updates here: I downgraded React Native to 0.59.8 and it worked like a charm as it doesn't uses Jetifier to migrate plugins to AndroidX, so, it's clearly that the problem is with Jetifier... I just can't understand why the script runs on npx and not with directly with the compiler...

I'll check the code and try to find something...
But anyway, thank you guys for helping!

I kindly request reviewing and testing a proposal to fix this: react-native-community/cli#541 as I don't have Windows machine set up currently.
