I got same issue then I did as below:

Manually copy the HTML pages to android/app/src/main/assets folder
Change the reference in code to file:///android_asset instead of ./ or …/

For example file:///android_asset/generic.html

Using: <WebView source={{ uri: ‘file:///android_asset/generic.html’ }} />
