can't run, start, test, play with or do anything usefull with the latest react-native app

[lcr0815]

• [X ] Review the documentation: https://facebook.github.io/react-native
  WHAT DOCUMENTATION? I wish this crappy error were documented
• [X ] Search for existing issues: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues
  this just sends me into another rabbit hole and more waste of time
• Use the latest React Native release: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases

Description

Describe your issue in detail. Include screenshots if needed. If this is a regression, let us know.

1. create a new app with the react-native-cli
2. build and start the new app with the react-native run-android cli command
3. go and get a towel to wipe your tears because as expected all hell breaks loose and nothing works

Reproducible Demo

run react-native init foo
run `react-native run-android'

Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

If you believe this information is irrelevant to the reported issue, you may write [skip envinfo] under Environment to let us know.

Your environment info looks incomplete, but from the screenshot it looks like you're using Windows. We are aware that the 0.56 release has some issues on Windows, and this is being discussed over at #20353

Friendly reminder that the project is worked on by humans, and they read what you write here.
