@yagarwal thanks for reporting. Want to clear one thing, so after you do

Run the project using npx rnv run -p androidtv to install all dependencies and verify installation.

does the app start in actual emulator? why are you trying to rerun in Android studio?

[yagarwal]

@pauliusguzas Thanks for your response. I wanted to make sure I retained the ability to run projects from Android Studio as well. That being said, I was able to run the project successfully after downgrading the JDK to 1.7.
