I've been trying to get rn-firebase messaging to work on my Android app. However, I'm running into difficulty getting it to work.
When I run npx react-native run-android, I end up with this error:
error Failed to install the app. Make sure you have the Android development environment set up: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup.
Error: Command failed: ./gradlew app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081

It looks like it's coming from MainActivity.java, but I don't see anything wrong with the code provided by the rn-firebase docs. Any idea as to what's causing it?
Below is the MainActivity.java file, and my other Android files like gradle in case that's useful.
# MainActivity.java #
package com.myAppName;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import io.invertase.firebase.app.ReactNativeFirebaseAppPackage;
