Why is this happening?

[ZeroCool00]

For those who are doing this before generating apk

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

it generate unnecessary drawable images in drawable folder. so make sure to remove it and try again.

android-> app -> src -> main -> res -> drawable

[ghost]

in android/gradle.properties, setting like below. android.enableAapt2=false
