App created with ignite-bowser doesn't load on android emulator

[EricWiener]

What's going on?

Not able to run ignite-bowser app on Android simulator. This issue doesn't happen when creating an app with npx react-native init AwesomeProject.

---

Steps to reproduce:

Setup Android environment using https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started

Create a new app

$ ignite new Test # choose bowser. With or without detox doesn't matter
$ cd Test
$ yarn install
$ react-native run-android

The simulator pops up with alert: "Test keeps stopping"

Solved this issue. You need to add the following lines to the dependencies section of android/app/build.gradle for react-navigation:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-rc01' // react navigation
implementation 'androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.1.0-alpha02' // react navigation

I had a similar issue. I kept getting: unsupported-class-file-major-version-57
Fixed it by changing the gradle version as per this stack overflow suggestion

Furthermore, I had to make sure that my Java version was 13 and not 14 (for both android studio and my cli/.zshrc)
