[mahdi-gh1373]

Issue Description

I have a problem in creating release apk . when I use npm run android and react-native run-android
I don't have any problem and simulator run my app but when I use ./gradlew assembleRelease I have a problem. I install step by step from installation guide as far as I know!!
It seems that I have a error on Task :react-native-navigation:compileReactNative51ReleaseJavaWithJavac FAILED.

this code help me solve my problem.

subprojects { subproject ->
    afterEvaluate {
        if ((subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android') || subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android-library'))) {
            android {
                variantFilter { variant ->
                    def names = variant.flavors*.name
                    if (names.contains("reactNative51") || names.contains("reactNative55") || names.contains("reactNative56") || names.contains("reactNative57WixFork")) {
                        setIgnore(true)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

@mahdi-gh1373 , I just ran into the same issue, where did you add this code to? Thanks!

[mahdi-gh1373]

@JohnSmith0602 if you check installation guide https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation/#/docs/Installing?id=_72-ignore-other-rnn-flavors you should add this code to android/build.gradle. but you should add my code that I write in pre comment.

awesome mahdi...,solved my problem too..:)

[AE0011]

Add this in package.json:

"scripts": {
...
    "androidRelease": "cd ./android && ./gradlew app:assembleRelease"
}

then run :
npm run androidRelease

• Thanx to @bobmulder it should be "androidRelease": "cd ./android && ./gradlew assembleRelease"

@AE0011 I get "outdated" builds with this - anyone else ?

[AE0011]

@hugows I'm not sure about your problem however maybe this could help you

First delete these two file from android/app/src/main/assets

index.android.bundle
index.android.bundle.meta

Then run this command: ( It create a new js bundle )

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

Then get release

[bobmulder]

@AE0011 added ./gradlew app:assembleRelease instead of ./gradlew assembleRelease. This is working fine for now!

Can anybody explain me what's the difference and why it's working now?

_A little bit context: building my staging app using ./gradlew assembleReleaseStaging worked, however ./gradlew assembleRelease failed. Through Google I stumbled upon this issue_
