title: Gradle Daemon could not be reused
body: <p>I am trying to run a react native project but I see an error saying "Starting a Gradle Daemon, 14 busy and 1 incompatible and 2 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details" after which the terminal stays idle.</p>
  
  <p>Hello, I've followed the steps outlined in the official react native docs for starting a new react native project. Everything went perfect until I ran the react-native run-android command with an emulator open. I got the following error: </p>
  
  <p><strong>"Starting a Gradle Daemon, 14 busy and 1 incompatible and 2 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details"</strong></p>
  
  <p>And then the application stayed in "IDLE" state and I could not get the react native application to show on the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>So far I have tried every existing solution proposal on every blog/article I could find but none of them worked.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I have tried to stop all gradle processes using gradle --stop.</li>
  <li>I have tried to delete the .gradle dir.</li>
  <li>I have tried to delete the .gradle/5.4.1/daemon files but I could not even find a daemon folder inside the gradle version folder.</li>
  <li>I have tried multiple times deleting the project and creating a new one with react-native init.</li>
  <li>I have tried not updating the gradle software which is suggested when opening a new project inside android studio.</li>
  <li>I have tried using a different phone for the emulator.</li>
  </ol>
