react-native: gradlew assembleRelease failing at processReleaseResources [0.19]

Just running a stock

./gradlew assembleRelease --stacktrace

Getting a failure at processReleaseResources. Not really sure what to do, this looks like it has something to do with aapt and the android packager but I don’t know and some basic searches revealing nothing interesting. Any ideas? Is there just some android package I failed to install?

@haydenth I found the root cause is that old version’s packager collect resources (image etc.) and put under $(rn_project)\android\app\src\main\res, while newer version put them under $(rn_project)\android\app\build\intermediates\res\merged$(buildType). It brings duplication which leads to failure of task ‘processReleaseResources’. And it also explains why new created project works well. When you have an old RN project upgrading to newer version, just delete directories like ‘drawable-xxxx’ (ATTN：no ‘v?’ postfix) under $(rn_project)\android\app\src\main\res and wolrd will be nice.

I have customized react.gradle to solve the Duplicate file error perfectly. Add following code in to currentBundleTask’s creation block

doLast {
    def moveFunc = { resSuffix ->
        File originalDir = file("${resourcesDir}/drawable-${resSuffix}")
        if (originalDir.exists()) {
            File destDir = file("${resourcesDir}/drawable-${resSuffix}-v4")
            ant.move(file: originalDir, tofile: destDir)
        }
    }
    moveFunc.curry("ldpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("mdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("hdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("xhdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("xxhdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("xxxhdpi").call()
}

AvatarQing on May 20, 2016

I was able to get around this by changing mdpi to mdpi-v4 in: node_modules/react-native/local-cli/bundle/assetPathUtils.js

function getAndroidAssetSuffix(scale) {
  switch (scale) {
    case 0.75: return 'ldpi';
    case 1: return 'mdpi-v4';
    case 1.5: return 'hdpi';
    case 2: return 'xhdpi';
    case 3: return 'xxhdpi';
    case 4: return 'xxxhdpi';
  }
}

haydenth on Feb 7, 2016

I think node_modules/react-native/local-cli/bundle/assetPathUtils.js is need to update to this :

function getAndroidAssetSuffix(scale) {
  switch (scale) {
    case 0.75: return 'ldpi-v4';
    case 1: return 'mdpi-v4';
    case 1.5: return 'hdpi-v4';
    case 2: return 'xhdpi-v4';
    case 3: return 'xxhdpi-v4';
    case 4: return 'xxxhdpi-v4';
  }
}

Or let these folder name can be configured in gradle script.

Because the newest android gradle plugin force to added v4 suffix to the drawable folders by default when execute processResources task, if you do this, it will avoids potential Duplicate file error between drawable-xdpi-v4 and drawable-xdpi.

AvatarQing on May 20, 2016

I know this issue is closed. But if you are developing React Native in an Android Library, then you will still have this issue as the newer version of Gradle forces library artifacts to resolve their images to a v4 drawable suffix.

I’m currently working on a fix that I will submit a PR for that specific use case.

~/Documents/CoolApp/android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/release/drawable-hdpi-v4/node_modules_reactnative_libraries_customcomponents_navigationexperimental_assets_backicon.png this seems to be the issue… I tried all the methods above.

This file names seems weird… is this supposed to be named like this? Seems like it should be / separated than _.

By the way I’m not using NavigationExperimental anywhere. It comes up in the index.android.bundle when grepping.

Naoto-Ida on Jul 7, 2016

In my case, it was just a matter of removing the $(rn_project)\android\app\src\main\res\drawable-* like suggested, then running ./gradlew clean and then trying to compile again

brickpop on Mar 21, 2017

I figured the issue was bundling assets based on @chamchamgo 's comment To resolve it, this is what I did

rm -rf android/app/src/main/res/drawable-*
react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/release/

Note the updated --assets-dest in the above command. Assembling the APK worked ok after that!

react-native run-android --variant=release

sujayjaju on Feb 26, 2018

CAUTION please consider your **react native version ** and android sdk version🔥🔥🔥 i face this problem after three ours and see many article i finally found solution
because i using lottie animation i need buil with SDK VERSION 26
and using this structure

BACK UP YOUR RN FOLDER FIRST OF ALL

"react": "^16.3.0-alpha.1",
"native-base": "^2.3.10",
"react-native": "0.54.2",

compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"

after reading this

first delete drawble files first
rm -rf android/app/src/main/res/drawable-*

changing file node_modules/react-native/react.gradle adding

doLast {
    def moveFunc = { resSuffix ->
        File originalDir = file("${resourcesDir}/drawable-${resSuffix}")
        if (originalDir.exists()) {
            File destDir = file("${resourcesDir}/drawable-${resSuffix}-v4")
            ant.move(file: originalDir, tofile: destDir)
        }
    }
    moveFunc.curry("ldpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("mdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("hdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("xhdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("xxhdpi").call()
    moveFunc.curry("xxxhdpi").call()
}

to currentBundleTask and adding android.enableAapt2=false to gradle.propertise finally commnad ./gradlew assembleRelease worked !!! NO Need to change assetPathUtil it’s bug of gradle to renaming picture

hope solution help RN Developers.

hamidhadi on Mar 27, 2018

I hate to be pedantic, but could you open a different issue for that? I think it’s similar but not quite the same issue I was handling.

haydenth on Sep 9, 2016

Tried all of the above with no luck on a project that started out on RN 0.11 and is now on 0.33. What finally worked was to match the Gradle and Android plugin versions in our project with those from a pristine RN project.

Changes included:

  • ${project_dir}/android/app/build.gradle

    dependencies {
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1
}

  • ${project_dir}/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

    distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.4-all.zip

I think In my case, Android Studio altered these values when it detected newer versions of Gradle and the Android plugin for Gradle.

hmedney on Sep 16, 2016

@naoey’s solution worked for me + changing the app level build.gradle file to

...
android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.project"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 2
        versionName "1.0"
        ndk {
            abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
        }
    }
...

Changing things within node_modules isn’t really an effective solution. Just deleting drawable-* and disabling aapt2 has fixed it for now.

RonakKhandelwal on May 27, 2016

Both solutions from @hmedney and @AvatarQing worked for me. I had upgraded my gradle because i am using react-native-google-signin, and its docs asked me to upgrade gradle. But then, I ran into this issue. It turns out I don’t really have to upgrade gradle for the google signin stuff, so I just reverted back to the stock versions specified by react-native.

There is no need to remove drawable-xxxx folders just. git clean -f -d on jenkins ci solved problem for me.
