React-native-config: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2Exception: Android resource linking failed

[mobilestar1221]

I met this issue when I built signed apk in react native.
My gradle version is 4.10.1 and gradle plugin version is 3.3.2

This is message I got.

Any ideas?

@mobilestar1221 any luck on this? I'm running into it as well after upgrading my project to react-native 0.59

[mobilestar1221]

So far, I used to use keytool command line to generate a signed apk.
Instead, I used android studio to build a signed apk and it worked for me.

Anyone have any luck?
Having the same issue when trying to build.

[mobilestar1221]

Did you try to build with android studio?

[iiJoshJenkins]

@mobilestar1221 I've tried building with both android studio and through command line, same issue.

[mobilestar1221]

Did you try this in android studio?
First, run bundle js server by "react-native start".
In android studio, build/generate signed apk
Here you should create a keystore file and check jar and apk.

[iiJoshJenkins]

Yeah I've tried, I'll keep looking into it but it's still not working.
Thanks for the help though.

Any update on this one?

@iamawaisakram I fixed the issue you have by the thread below, reducing files to under 2MB. Seems like a different problem from this thread though. Overall, upgrading to gradle 3.4 may fix these issues
