Solutions to known issues:

Make sure you have given permissions to the android/.gradlew file, to do this on linux run
sudo chmod u=rwx android/gradlew or sudo chmod rwx-rwx-rwx android/.gradlew
for windows users right click the gradlew file in the android folder and give the users permissions to read, write and execute the file.
Make sure your emulator is running and is being recognised. To check if the device is connected properly and recognised, run the following command in the terminal
adb devices
This will list all devices whether virtual or physically connected to your device.
Make sure that you have enabled developer priviledges by enabling usb debugging for those debugging on physical devices. The instructions for setting up developer proviledges on android devices can be found Here
