I'm currently building my first React Native app. I set up a release in Play Console for Internal Testing and was able to push my first signed apk. Since then, we've made bug fixes that are now merged into master. When I try to generate a new release by running:

cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease

and upload as a new release, I don't see any of the new changes after updating my app via the Play Store.

I've tried running

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

before generating a new release, but I still don't see the changes.

Running react-native run-android while my device is hooked up with USB Debugging works fine, as well as in any emulator. I just can't figure out why my APK doesn't match the code generated on my local device.

Is there a step that I'm missing that's keeping my APK from representing the latest changes on master when I build?

Using React Native 0.56

Updated to add my Gradle Config:

 // android/app/build.grade

 signingConfigs {

    release {

        if(project.hasProperty('MY_RELEASE_STORE_FILE')) {

            storeFile file(MY_RELEASE_STORE_FILE)

            storePassword pass

            keyAlias MY_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS

            keyPassword pass

        }

    }

}

you should update the build.gradle file under the app folder by placing this code under the defaultConfig

signingConfigs {

    debug {

        storeFile file('debug.keystore')

        keyAlias 'androiddebugkey'

        keyPassword 'android'

        storePassword 'android'

    }



    release {

        if (project.hasProperty('MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE')) {

            storeFile file(MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE)

            storePassword MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD

            keyAlias MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS

            keyPassword MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD

        }

    }

}

Just like that and update your gradle.properties file with these properties

MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE="Key Store Name"

MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS="Key Store alias"

MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD="Key Store Password"

MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD="Key Password"

Try to change

--entry-file ./index.js

to

--entry-file ./index.android.js

maybe its late but I hope this save someone :
It looks like you have to rebundle it whenever you add new module or asset

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
