[ANDROID] Unable to pass sourceMap argument to packager

See original GitHub issue

We use crashlytics and it’s needed to have a sourcemap of our js file. It’s a problem when running release build, because we just can’t pass --sourcemap-output argument to packager. And we forced to use local react.gradle instead of bundled one from node_modules. (Gool ol’ copy-paste not welcome)

This bug was introduced by #6610 Commit: a7cde8045ba10d67896cc5b203d397eaf4f395d6

Solution: Add a boolean flag (generate source maps?) into commented-out section before apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle" line and consume it.

I can also confirm that it works (tried with v0.29). I’m using the following config in build.gradle to generate the source-map in the same location as the release bundle file:

project.ext.react = [
    extraPackagerArgs: ["--sourcemap-output", "$buildDir/intermediates/assets/release/index.android.bundle.map"]
]
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
