I dont quite get the source of this error. All the dependencies and libraries were properly installed with no problem. But as soon as I run my code on a physical device, this error displays on the device even though the build/installation is successful.

Steps to reproduce

1. Connect physical android device.
2. Run with "npm run android"
3. Error display.
