I'm a complete newbie in this field. I just downloaded Android Studio and ran the steps from the React-Native website to set up my environment https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup.
When running:
npm start and then a for android, I get the following gradle build error:
* What went wrong:

Haven't been able to find a solution so far. Any ideas?
I tried increasing memory org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m, and I tried setting multiDexEnabled true but no avail
