Obnoxious Ocelot
For apk : cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease
For aab : cd android && ./gradlew bundleReleaseAfter run this in cmd
react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/
cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug
then you can get apk app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apkFor windows, gradlew assembleRelease
For Linux, ./gradlew assembleReleasenpx react-native run-android --variant=releasecd android
./gradlew assembleReleaseDebug APK
How to generate one in 3 steps?
Step 1: Go to the root of the project in the terminal and run the below command:
react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res
Step 2: Go to android directory:
cd android
Step 3: Now in this android folder, run this command
./gradlew assembleDebug
There! you’ll find the apk file in the following path:
yourProject/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
Release APK
Step 1. Generate a keystore
You can create one using the keytool in the terminal with the following command:
keytool -genkey -v -keystore your_key_name.keystore -alias your_key_alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
Once you run the keytool utility, you’ll be prompted to type in a password.
*Make sure you remember the password
Step 2. Adding Keystore to your project
Copy the file your_key_name.keystore and paste it under the android/app
directory in your React Native project folder.
On Terminal:
mv my-release-key.keystore /android/app
Release APK Generation
Place your terminal directory to android using:
cd android
For Windows,
gradlew assembleRelease
For Linux and Mac OSX:
./gradlew assembleRelease
As a result, the APK creation process is done. You can find the generated APK at
android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk.
