Generate Signed APK in React Native

Hello Friends

In this tutorial video, I will explain you how to generate Signed APK in React Native step-by-step
#react #reactnative #reactnativetutorial

Step 1 Generate a Signed Release Key file

Step 2 Setting up Gradle variables
MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=demo
MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=demo*123#
MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=demo*123#

Step 3 Adding signing config to app's Gradle config
signingConfigs
{
release
{
{
storeFile file(MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE)
storePassword MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD
keyAlias MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS
keyPassword MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD
}
}
}

buildTypes
{
release
{

}
}

Step 4 Generating the APK
gradlew assembleRelease

what if you aleady have a signingConfigs section
signingConfigs {
debug {
storeFile file('debug.keystore')
storePassword 'android'
keyAlias 'androiddebugkey'
keyPassword 'android'
}
}
buildTypes {
debug {
signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
}

Sometimes these tutorials assume only one perfect scenario. Should i replace the signingsConfig with this one? or leave the original one there? Or just copy the 'release' part into the original as the other one is debug. Also there is a debug and rlease section for builtTypes. Just copy the 'release' part into the buildTypes? I mean this was just a test project with the original reactt native homescreen. How does yours work with no problems and i get problems at every step?

help me; there is error message (The term 'react-native' is not recognized) when i type 'react-native run-android'

[Jeff-zcrr]

Cannot run program "node" error when running gradlew assembleRelease. even though the gradlew file is right there in my android folder it doesn't recognize it so i ran it from a regular cmd window and then i get this error. If your gradlew doesn't work. try ./gradlew assembleRelease

Your videos are so clear well explained

after typing gradlew assembleRelease
i am facing this issue

gradlew : The term 'gradlew' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[nikhilroyal]

Now version is changed 6.X. So Build.gradle file changed. I am confusing can you please do latest signed apk. Please ?
