Task :app:installDebug FAILED on physical device

[hmajid2301]

I tried to test my app on a physical device (original google pixel) running android version 9. However when I try to build/deploy the app yarn react-native run-android. Either the process just hangs gets stuck at the :app:installDebug stage or occasionally throw an EOF exception.

React Native version:

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.60 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "Resolution: Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running `react-native info` on a project using the latest release.

[react-native-bot]

I am closing this issue because it does not appear to have been verified on the latest release, and there has been no followup in a while.

I was having this error, then i cleaned space in my android, and it worked ok. Not sure its the same error

[hmajid2301]

@kyo504 I upgraded to React Native 0.61,this seems to have resolved the issue for me. I only had this issue will try to run my code within a VM (desktop) if I ran it on a Linux laptop it worked fine.

[kieraneglin]

I was trying to run on a physical device when I had this issue. The fix for me was to restart the ADB server like so:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
