title: React Native Operation Not Permitted
body: <p>I am following the simply setup of React Native at: <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html" rel="nofollow">https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html</a>,
  After setting up the environment with <code>react-native start</code>, and running <code>react-native run-android</code>, I receive the following errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
  
  * What went wrong:
  A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
  &gt; Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugCompile'.
