Answer 1

I think your error is due to Dex Error,it can be resolved by enabling multiDex. So in your android/app directory add these lines to the build.gradle file:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
  ....
