Question

I try to get apk of app. I did it before well. However, I tried to use get apk of other app today but it doesnt give me release apk. why ?
I followed these steps : enter link description here
Normally, it takes 2-3 minutes but now it lasts just 3 sec and doesnt generate apk
it says this :
Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it
incompatible with Gradle 6.0. Use '--warning-mode all' to show the
individual deprecation warnings. See
https://docs.gradle.org/5.4.1/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Following command worked for me:
After the ./gradlew bundleRelease command we get a .aab version of our app. To get APK, you should run the app with release version on any device with the below command.
Make sure you have connected an android device
For the production ready app, firstly you have to remove the previous app from the device
Run this command in your-project/:
react-native run-android --variant=release
Then APK can be found in android/app/build/outputs/apk/release
Hope this helps

Answer 2

the short answer uses gradlew assembleRelease instead.
not short answer :) The command you are using gradlew bundleRelease builds an android App bundle. read this:
Difference between apk (.apk) and app bundle (.aab)
and this:
https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle
AAB file is new and not all stores support it.

Answer 3

Use gradlew bundleRelease to generate an app bundle (.aab file) and gradlew assembleRelease to generate an apk (.apk file). To install a release on your emulator, use react-native run-android --variant=release. I hope this helps

Answer 4

Cutting the long story short the command gradlew bundleRelease is used to generate an .aab file where as the command gradlew assembleRelease is used to generate .apk file so use the command accordingly

Answer 5

I made a file that called build.sh.
When i want to release a new version of android in ReactNative, just type and press sh ./build.sh in terminal.
My shell script in build.sh file:
npx jetify && cd android && ./gradlew clean && ./gradlew assembleRelease && ./gradlew bundleRelease && cd ..

You can simply open the Build Variants window on the bottom left hand corner of Android Studio and choose release as the current variant:

Answer 7

The following should solve your issue:
Open Android Studio and select "build bundle(s)" from Build/Build Bundle(s)/Apk(s)
Then, open your console and run
cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease
from your project's root. You may encounter an error such as
Cannot add task 'wrapper' as a task with that name already exists., because overriding built-in tasks are deprecated in 4.8 and produces an error.
To prevent it, please update your android/build.gradle, as follows:
FROM:
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '4.4'
distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}
TO:
wrapper {
gradleVersion = '4.4'
distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}
Lastly, don't forget to convert your .aab file to .apk through bundletool in order to test locally your app (exactly as an APK file)
