Unrecognized vm option maxpermsize 512m error could not create the java virtual machine

Summary

After running expo run:android, the build fails and gives the error:

Unrecognized VM option 'MaxPermSize=512m'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

For some reason though, running expo run:ios works fine, and then pressing a while in the metro bundler cli successfully bundles for android and runs the app in the emulator. I really don’t know what is causing this since I followed all of the setup instructions that I could find in expo’s documentation.

Also, I apologize if the error is on my side, but I have been troubleshooting for a week with no success, and I don’t know where else to go.

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

I don’t know if this will be reproducible on a different machine, as I’m sure the error is being cause by the way I installed my dependencies or where they are located or something of that nature, but following these steps reproduces the error for me:

1. expo init new-project
✔ Choose a template: › blank (TypeScript) same as blank but with TypeScript configuration

   cd new-project

2. Open up android emulator

3. expo run:android
✔ What would you like your Android package name to be? … com.username.newproject

   (this gives me the error again)

Now let’s try to run an ios simulator then open android from metro cli.

1. expo run:ios
✔ What would you like your iOS bundle identifier to be? … com.username.newproject

2. Once the build succeeds and the app launches in an ios simulator, go to the metro bundler cli and press the a key

Well, upon trying to reproduce this part, I got a different outcome. Instead of the android app starting up as expected, I received a new error, so hopefully this might provide some insight:
› Opening on Android...
› Opening com.username.newproject://expo-development-client/?url=http%3A%2F%2F10.1.10.239%3A8081 on Pixel_XL_API_30
Couldn't start project on Android: Error running adb: The development client (com.username.newproject) for this project is not installed. Please build and install the client on the device first. Learn more: https://docs.expo.dev/clients/distribution-for-android/

The link brings me to a page that informs me to use the expo run:android command to start an android dev build, or to use the eas cli, which I have already tried unsuccessfully in the past, hence I am now trying to build locally. (As an aside, the issue I had with eas was unrelated to this one. The android build was successful but I was getting a build error for ios 🙃)

Open the file pycharm64.vmoptions

nano /opt/pycharm-community-4.5/bin/pycharm64.vmoptions

and add a # at the beginning of the line

Open the file pycharm.vmoptions

MaxPermSize support was removed in Java 8.0, but the error message

Unrecognized VM option MaxPermSize=350m
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

does not look like Oracle Java 8 or OpenJDK 8.

1. $PYCHARM_JDK
2. $IDE_HOME/jre/bin/java
3. $JDK_HOME
4. $JAVA_HOME

Make sure you are using the Java version that you’d like to use.
