BUILD FAILED in 3m 2s
81 actionable tasks: 1 executed, 80 up-to-date

I tried different tips I found on the internet, but none did work for me. np: when I run react-native run-android, the app works normally, except for the fact that it does not launch automatically on my phone and I have to run it manually.


Solution 1:

This command helps in building apk ./gradlew assembleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets

and to try that for aab, do like ./gradlew bundleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets

Otherwise before building you can always bundle up by

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

Hope it helps

Solution 2:

Same issue for my project. But this steps that make it works for me:

  1. cd android && ./gradlew clean
  2. ./gradlew bundleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets
  3. cd .. && npx react-native run-android --variant=release

Solution 3:

Happened with me.

Wasted 2 hours in configuration changes while the issue happened because npx was not able to go in correct directory due to a space in parent directory name.

ex :

D:/Apps/Demo App/Code/demoApp/android/...

it was creating a file with first name before space i.e. Demo in Apps Folder and was failing afterwards.

Removed space from directory -> Demo App to DemoApp and build works just fine now.

Hope this helps others!!

Solution 4:

For Me When Run the command ./gradlew bundleRelease
in ReactNativeAppName/android folder
Then,
I got same error Task :app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets FAILED

Then I try the following command, It's worked successfully

./gradlew bundleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets

Using this command we will get app-release.aab file in

ReactNativeAppName/android/app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab

if You want a file in .apk formate;
then you need to do some changes.
follow the following instruction,

before that, we will need some changes for the .apk file.
You can check the official doc: Go To the Official Doc

After that use the following command

./gradlew assembleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets

You will get a file in the .apk formate location:ReactNativeAppName/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/YourApkfile.apk

for me I work on 3 years ago project there I use the following command it works successfully for me...

1 cd android && ./gradlew clean
2. ./gradlew :app:assembleRelease
OR
1../gradlew assembleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets
2../gradlew clean
3. ./gradlew bundleRelease generate .abb file
4. ./gradlew assembleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets
if error found then
5../gradlew :app:assembleRelease

if nothing work then use following command

react-native run-android --variant=release

(note:- If your not using emulator(virtual device) then connect your device while creating build).

this work for me

Hope This Work Successfully For You Also :)
