React-Native assembleRelease fails for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets'

When I run ./gradlew assembleRelease build is failed with this error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets. 
> A problem occurred starting process 'command 'node'

I searched on the internet and found some topics about it, but I couldn't solve my problem.

React-Native version: 0.54.0

EDIT:
Now I'm running ./gradlew assembleRelease --info from the terminal instead of Android Studio and I get different error.
Here is the result:

It seems gradle is looking for libs folder in all modules, but there are no libs folders in the node modules. It's true, but I don't know why gradle is looking for libs folder.

I had to upgrade sentry to 5.33.1 to generate my build after Xcode version got updated to 16 but I started getting this same error when trying to generate android app bundle. Just downgrading the version for generating android build resolved the issue for me.

I've tried this and hopefully it's worked for me.

first install hermes engine,

npm install hermes-engine --save --force    //--force is optional

then install node_modules,

npm install --force    //you can delete node_modules or just leave it as it is

then for IOS sync,

cd ios && pod install

then Android sync,

cd android && ./gradlew clean

finally,

npx react-native run-android

the above cmds solved my issue.

For me the creating the bundle failed, but I noticed this comment by Sahin Elidemir:

just ./gradlew assembleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets saved me.

It almost worked for me. What worked at the end was (notice the app:, which for me it fails without, and a clean for good measure):

./gradlew clean app:assembleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets

I faced this same issue on Mac OS, was related to metro-bundler not having access to the folder in which my project was kept. I restarted my system and re-run the command. The bundler asked for permission to access the folder and after that I was able to generate the build.

Hope it helps. Thanks

P.S : All the fixes mentioned did not work for me.

I had the same problem. In my case, after a few hours, I saw this on GitHub: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/issues/578#issuecomment-503428032. I had renamed the project on Sentry. If you renamed the project on, update the android/sentry.properties and ios/sentry.properties file.

defaults.url=https://sentry.io/
defaults.org=yourorg
defaults.project=newprojectname
auth.token=🔑

And that's it, i hope it helps

First thing before trying other stuffs you should do the below:

cd yourProject/android and run

./gradlew --stop

and

./gradlew clean

next try again. Sometimes, when you update the assets you might have that gradle issue within terminal

In my case,

The solution is so simple,

your project ancestors folder names should not contain spaces, like: D:\Documents\React Native\MyRNProjectTest in this "React Native" folder has space in it, removing the space from folder name could solve the problem, like this "ReactNative".

try android/app/build.gradle

def enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture = false

in new rn versions it is set to true

then

gradlew clean
gradlew assembleRelease

In my case

npx was not able to go into the correct directory due to a space in the parent directory name

example :-

D:\dk\native\aiims raipur\aiimsraipur

Removed space from directory -> aiims raipur to aiims_raipur

Build works fine.

Check your project to make sure that you didn't name any of your folders with spaces in between. For me, there was a space in the name of my project's parent folder. When I remove the space (from Source Codes to codes) my build was successful.

Solution :

1- android\app\build.gradle

project.ext.react = [
    enableHermes: false, 
]

cd android
gradlew clean

3- gradlew bundleRelease

This error also occurs when you have stacked your project inside many folders

Try copying your project folder into one of your hard drives without putting that project into any folder.

I did it like this and it works:

Removed node modules (you can do it by running this command rm -rf node_modules)
Run npm install or yarn install
Then run ./gradlew clean && ./gradlew app:assembleRelease or ./gradlew app:assembleDebug

I had the same problem, the solution was :

cd to yourApp/android folder

run this

./gradlew --stop

and then

./gradlew assembleRelease

This gonna build your app.

After build is done, go to see your application(apk).

android\app\build\outputs\apk\release

As of RN 0.58, for CI builds the commands is as follows:

First create directories:

mkdir -p app/build/generated/assets/react/production/release/ && mkdir -p app/build/generated/res/react/production/release

node ../node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output app/build/generated/assets/react/production/release/index.android.bundle --assets-dest app/build/generated/res/react/production/release --max-workers 1 --reset-cache

Also you may also want to add for your production builds according to this;

--minify true

Taken from RN's source

NOTE: We added --max-workers 1 not to deplete CI resources since they are limited to lower numbers (mem&cpu).

This is working for me, Please follow the below steps:-

1) Stop Running Gradle

 $ cd RectNatoveProjectName & cd android  (Open your project and go to android folder)  
 $ ./gradlew --stop (Run this command to stop old running Gradle service )

2) Update the android app build gradle

project.ext.react = [
        nodeExecutableAndArgs : ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
];

3) Get Node details

$ which node

> (Result will be like "/usr/username/.nvm/versions/node/v10.7.0/bin/node")

4) Link node (very imp step copy the above result in step 3)

- ln -s /usr/username/.nvm/versions/node/v10.7.0/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

5) If Step - 4 return file exist - then to go the folder /usr/local/bin/ and delete the "node" file and perform the step -4 again.

6) If Step - 4 run successfully then this node issue will be resolved.

The steps above really helped.

Here's the scripts that work for us with react-native 0.55.3.

Run the android-build command locally or CI to generate an APK.

/packages.json (react-native):

"android-bundle": "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",
"android-release-fix": "node ./android-release-gradle-fix.js",
"android-build": "yarn killbin && yarn android-clean && yarn android-release-fix && yarn android-bundle && cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease -x bundleReleaseJsAndAssets --info",
"android-clean": "cd android && ./gradlew clean",
"killbin": "rm -rf ./node_modules/.bin",

android-release-gradle-fix.js:

const fs = require('fs')

// Fix issues with Android resources like duplicate files
// CI: run install with --unsafe-perm option
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47084810/react-native-android-duplicate-file-error-when-generating-apk
try {
        var curDir = __dirname
        var rootDir = process.cwd()

        var file = `${rootDir}/node_modules/react-native/react.gradle`
        var dataFix = fs.readFileSync(`${curDir}/android-react-gradle-fix`, 'utf8')
        var data = fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8')

        var doLast = "doLast \{"
        if (data.indexOf(doLast) !== -1) {
            throw "Already fixed."
        }

        var result = data.replace(/                \/\/ Set up inputs and outputs so gradle can cache the result/g, dataFix);
        fs.writeFileSync(file, result, 'utf8')
        console.log('Done')
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error)
    }

    def moveFunc = { resSuffix ->
