react-native iOS app not showing static assets (images) after deploying

Question

I have all my static images in a folder called \"images\" in the root of my project. However, after I run the following command to bundle my app, the app works but no image

Answer 1

Local assets do not load even if you are working on a newer Xcode versions i.e. 12.x or later. There are two solutions to it :

1. Upgrade react-native versions
2. Or go to below file:

node_modules > react-native > Libraries > Images > RCTUIImageViewAnimated.m search for `if (_currentFrame)`

add the following else block to the if block as below

if (_currentFrame) {
  layer.contentsScale = self.animatedImageScale;
  layer.contents = (__bridge id)_currentFrame.CGImage;
 } else {
  [super displayLayer:layer];
 }

If its older xcode you need to add assets and main.jsbundle under Xcode -> build phases -> copy bundle resources
