react-native android-run failing (clean install)

Question

Here are my steps:

react-native init app

cd app

react-native run-android

A problem occurred configuring project ':app'. java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)`

cd android && ./gradlew installDebug --info

Parsing /Users/xxxx/Library/Android/sdk/tools/package.xml

file or directory '/Users/xxxx/Projects/personal/app/android/app/libs', not found

file or directory '/Users/xxxx/Projects/personal/app/android/app/libs', not found

file or directory '/Users/xxxx/Projects/personal/app/android/app/libs', not found

file or directory '/Users/xxxx/Projects/personal/app/android/app/libs', not found

Using incremental javac compilation.

Incremental java compilation is an incubating feature.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':app'. java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

I do not know what the problem is here. Why is gradle looking for a lib that doesn't exist? Why is react-native not creating this directory?

For anyone who runs into this - for me it was because the SDK path was not working for some part of the process. I had export ANDROID_HOME="~/Library/Android/sdk/" which fails for this, whereas export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/" works fine.
