Error: spawnSync ./gradlew EACCES React Native Error Fix

ByMohammed Rashid Posted on

I was trying to run one of my react native projects on the Android emulator and faced the following error.

Error: spawnSync ./gradlew EACCES

My PC runs on Ubuntu OS and here, I certainly felt it’s an error because of permission problems. A quick search on this React Native issue had brought me here and I got the solution too. I just run the following command in the terminal to make the gradlew folder executable.

chmod 755 android/gradlew

That’s it. My app again started to build successfully.
