React native error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat signing-config.json

So I started working with React native. While setting up a project in Visual Studio Code, this error came up. What ended up fixing the error is deleting the file "android/app/build/intermediates/signing_config/debug/out/signing-config.json".

I found that solution here https://reactnativecode.com/android-project-not-found/
