Hey guys!
Thanks a lot @nebmesemaou and @esamelson.
At first the suggested methods were throwing the following error - * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ‘:app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets’.
On running gradlew clean in the android folder and then running react-native run-android --variant Release in the root directory built the app-release successfully.
trying about 72 hours but no solutions
Is there a way to do a build using Gradle?
We have a Fastlane that runs a Gradle task on Travis CI server. Also, you can’t just open another terminal and I’d prefer not running a metro bundler as a background process in CI environment to build my Android project.
The way it worked before (in Expo SDK35) we were building the JS bundle with expo CLI and then run the Gradle task and iOS Xcode build tool to build native packages with the newly created JS bundle.
Now it is not clear on how to build the JS bundle, the one that can be used later for native app builds.
EAS build can see this issue https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/22749 just changed index.ts to index.js

Why don’t you take a look at that?
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/28510
so similar types of errors is maybe like this.
Hi there! Sorry you’re having trouble. As @nebmesemaou helpfully noted, you need to have a separate terminal window with the packager running. If you run
react-native run-android --variant Releaseit will do this automatically for you, otherwise you can manually runreact-native startin a separate terminal window.If you’ve tried that and it’s giving you other errors, please read and post the output above the line
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception(look for the line> Task :app:createReleaseExpoManifest FAILED) as this should give you more detailed information about the error. The gradle stacktrace is not helpful, unfortunately.it seams packager not start try react-native run-android --variant=release or open seperate window with react-native start then run gradlew bundleRelease
I am having the same errors and the solutions mentioned above didn’t solve them.
‘react-native’: ‘~0.61.5’ ‘expo’: ‘~37.0.3’ ‘expo-updates’: ‘0.2.5’
Steps to reproduce -
Error: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Please help
