Answer 1

I'm using react-native v0.59.9 with shrinkResources true configuration. It makes react-native could not find the assets.

Make sure you do not set shrinkResources on android build.gradle unless the new version of react-native support it later on.

Answer 2

I'm using RN 0.61.2

As stated by @made-in-moon here this worked for me:

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/

Answer 3

This is the command that did it for me:

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.android.js \ --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle \ --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/
