How to generate Android app bundle in React Native?

I used the official documentation of React Native to build apk file. All other procedures worked fine but creating aab file is not working for me. I used the following command cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease But it's not working on Windows. It is just giving me error of ". is not recognized"

On Windows, you can use the gradlew executable made for Bash, unless you install WSL for Windows (which is highly recommended for many other reasons, so then your ./gradlew would just work in the WSL shell). Without WSL, you need to use the gradlew.bat file instead, which should be in your android folder in your repo as its included in the react native starter files.

From then on, every command you see written with ./gradlew should be replaced with it, e.g. gradlew.bat assembleRelease. Be sure to be in the 'android' folder though.
