Missing gradle.properties file for generating APK file on Windows React Native

Question

After completing my android application with React Native I wanted to generate an APK file to install on me and my friends phones.

In order to do that i need to edit a certain gradle.properties file (according to React Native documentation). I have tried to find this file for almost a week now an ended up searching my entire C: for the file. I found plenty of files with the right name but none in the right place or with the right content.

I suspect the problem can be that I am using Windows not a linux or mac (which is what the documentation is written for). Is there another file to edit using Windows or am I missing something else?

Using Windows 10 and React native 0.31.0

Answer 1

gradle.properties file is in the following path:

/your/project/path/android/gradle.properties

It's the same if you are using Windows or Mac.

Here a screenshot of my file system:

EDIT

You can put the code anywhere, here is my gradle.properties
