Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new project wiht react-native init temp
- cd temp
- npm install
- react-native run-android (and here I get the error)
Actual Behavior
I've got an Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugAidl'
Actually I found this issue where the guy had the same problem: #14733 and I managed to solve it like he says, but I'm not comfortable repeating all those steps for every project I have.
I'd like to know why this happens, what exactly is missing and how to install this missing piece in order to happily compile my apks
Thank you very much for you work
