React Native 0.57.1 Android Duplicate Resources

Question

When running ./android/gradlew assembleRelease I get the following error:

``` * What went wrong: Execution failed for task \':app:mergeReleaseResources\

Answer 1

remove all files that have names like node_modules_{some_path}_{imagename}.{extension} or src_images_{imagename}.{extension}

from all the folders in android/app/src/main/res, e.g.

android/app/src/main/res/drawable-xhdpi/node_modules_reactnavigation_src_views_assets_backicon.png android/app/src/main/res/drawable-xhdpi/src_images_mylogo.jpg

The probably got put there by react-native bundle and they cause the duplicate resource error
