[Updated] Steps To Reproduce

1. Connect Android 11 device or create Android 11 emulator
2. $ react-native init MyApp --version 0.63.2
3. Update targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion to be 30 in build.gradle
4. Open new terminal window and do: $ cd MyApp && react-native start --port 8082
5. In previous terminal window do: $ cd MyApp && react-native run-android --port 8082

Actual Results

Exception in native call java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to load script. Make sure you’re either running a Metro server (run ‘react-native start’) or that your bundle ‘index.android.bundle’ is packaged correctly for release. at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.jniLoadScriptFromAssets(Native Method) at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.loadScriptFromAssets(CatalystInstanceImpl.java:234) at com.facebook.react.bridge.JSBundleLoader$1.loadScript(JSBundleLoader.java:29) at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.runJSBundle(CatalystInstanceImpl.java:258) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.createReactContext(ReactInstanceManager.java:1293) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.access$1100(ReactInstanceManager.java:131) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager$5.run(ReactInstanceManager.java:1016) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:923)

Expected Results

App should build and run successfully on Android 11 device/emulator with targetSdkVersion 30

The crash fixed for me on updating sentry/react-native library, please check your dependencies support targetsdkversion 30

[manohar-octifi]

Why is it closed changing targetSdkVersion back to 29 is not a permanent fix, It is mandatory to update targetSdkVersion to 30 before November for existing apps and before August for new apps
