Cause of a OutOfMemoryError with React native Android

Question

I'm developping an app with React native and my last version in release mode crashes after 20-30 seconds with the following generated logcat:

02-19 23:52:10.777 32717-32717/? E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: my.app, PID: 32717
    java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: std::bad_alloc

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1374)

The app never crashes in dev mode.

How can I know what causes this? Is there a leak somewhere? What steps are to be followed to know more about it?

Answer 1

android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

<application
   android:largeHeap="true"

Adding largeHeap seems fix it
