RN Android Build Issue - Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug' - build

Question

My client app is already published on Google Play and it crashes
It maybe a stupid behavior from me , when I noted it works well for IOS,
I quickly deployed it for Android and published it
I tried to run it in my development environment using
sudo react-native run-android
it makes the below error
What's the potential errors ?
I'm using MAC High Sierra

I got similar error on Windows 10.
In my case the culprit was node v.12.
Uninstall node and install LTS version of node.
(Currently node v.10.16.0)
Best Luck. 👍
