According to the docs, the command to create release build in Android Studio is:

npx react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/com/your-company-name/app-package-name/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/com/your-company-name/app-package-name/src/main/res/

As I understand, the release APK uses index.android.bundle file generated in /assets folder to load the React View. Also I understand that --bundle-output android/com/your-company-name/app-package-name/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle generates it. But what --assets-dest android/com/your-company-name/app-package-name/src/main/res/ Is used for? I am trying to create an app that dynamically receives index.android.bundle from a server and I wonder if the app should receive something else except of the bundle file to load the React View successfully.

— bundle-output= Is the path where main.bundlejs will be created.

--assets-dest Tells the bundler the destination to copy all the assets to (in this case just images).

CodePudding user response：

This option (--assets-dest) tells the bundler the location of where you want to copy over all the assets of your project (ie. images/fonts etc..)
