React Native项目Android模拟器构建失败：InvokerHelper类初始化异常

这个问题我帮不少开发者排查过，核心原因基本是Groovy版本与Gradle不兼容或者JDK版本不匹配，结合你的项目是Expo管理的RN 0.61.5版本，给你一步步的解决办法：

第一步：确认JDK版本是否正确 #

React Native 0.61.x系列要求使用JDK 8（1.8.x版本），如果安装了JDK 11或更高版本，就会触发这个Groovy初始化错误。你可以在终端运行以下命令查看当前JDK版本：

java -version

如果显示的是1.8.x以外的版本，建议切换到JDK 8（可以用jenv这类工具管理多版本JDK）。

第二步：检查Gradle版本配置 #

你的项目是RN 0.61.5，对应的Gradle wrapper版本应该是gradle-5.5.1-all.zip。打开项目根目录下的android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties，确认distributionUrl的内容：

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.5.1-all.zip

如果版本不对，修改后保存，然后删除android/.gradle文件夹，再重新执行构建。

第三步：清理项目缓存并重新安装依赖 #

缓存冲突也可能导致这类问题，按以下步骤操作：

1. 删除项目根目录的node_modules和yarn.lock：

rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock

2. 重新安装依赖：

yarn install

3. 清理Android项目的构建缓存：

cd android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..

4. 再次尝试构建：

yarn android

第四步：尝试禁用Jetifier（可选） #

如果前面的步骤都没解决，可以试试禁用Jetifier，部分旧依赖可能和它存在兼容性问题：

yarn android --no-jetifier

你的项目错误日志： #
