Cannot build Android Release with react-native-flipper 0.48.0+

🐛 Bug Report

react-native-flipper 0.48.0 breaks building Android in Release, presumably due to https://github.com/facebook/flipper/commit/03b231703ba1e609d8b5d31d71d07c57be1f0b29

Version 0.47.0 did not have this problem, although it had the problem in #1274, which the above change was trying to address.

To Reproduce

Very simple.

1. npx react-native init Test
2. cd Test
3. yarn add react-native-flipper
4. Open project in Android Studio
5. Set Build Variant to “release”
6. Try to build project

The build will fail, but if you change the version of react-native-flipper from 0.48.0 to 0.47.0, then it will succeed.

Environment

Since this is a build failure with a default-initialized React Native project, the only variable being react-native-flipper itself, I can’t think of any relevant environment info to add, but feel free to ask if you think there’s something I’ve missed.

[mweststrate]

The fix has been released as react-native-flipper@0.54.0.

@micnguyen if you’re using react-native-flipper dependency, install the 0.47.0 version
