React native is stuck at old version app

Question

When I run react-native run-android it only installs the old version of the app in simulator and changes are not shown.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Answer 1

Check for any syntax errors that might not be highlighted by VS code.

After three hours of pulling my hairout turns out it hadnt alerted my to an = instead of a : in an object.

Answer 2

Tried with the solutions above, not sure if they helped for the final version, but what worked at the end was running ./gradlew clean assembleRelease in the /android folder.
