How to run react-native using application on Android (using CRNA)

Question

I have this a simple app which was created using CRNA which runs fine on iOS but fails on Android.

It seems to be related to the missing JSC on Android OS. I added the "android-jsc" (https://github.com/facebook/android-jsc) dep to the project but nothing changed. What am I missing?

Here is my package.json

  "name": "app",
  "version": "0.1.0",

jsc-android needs manual linking, and isn't compatible with Expo. See if all your dependencies are compatible with Expo. If not, you'll either have to detach to ExpoKit, or look for a compatible substitute.

Edit: Upon inspection, you are installing react-native-vector-icons directly. It needs manual linking, but is included on Expo. Check here for the instructions.
