React Native Build Utils

Build utils for react native: (only android at the moment)

• apk
• dev/prod gradle configs
• install on device
• generate dev icons

Install

$ npm install --save-dev react-native-build-utils replace # replace is a peer dependency

Use

$ npm run buildUtils configGradle # config gradle for DEV
$ npm run buildUtils configGradle -- -p # config gradle for PROD
$ npm run buildUtils apk # generates release apk
$ npm run buildUtils installOnDevice # installs DEV version on connected devices
$ npm run buildUtils installOnDevice -- -p # installs PROD version on connected devices
$ npm run buildUtils icons # generates dev icons based on existing prod icons

easy peasy! ;)

Config file

.gradleConfig contains 4 keys:

• appDirName: created initially by react-native init, located at PROJECT_ROOT/android/app/src/main/java/com/
• appDisplayName: what your users c, located at PROJECT_ROOT/android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
• appPackageName: the app's identifier for google store, located at the "package" attribute at the manifest file PROJECT_ROOT/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
• iconName: The name of the icon files to use for the app, located at:
  • PROJECT_ROOT/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-mdpi/
  • PROJECT_ROOT/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-hdpi/
  • PROJECT_ROOT/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xhdpi/
  • PROJECT_ROOT/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xxhdpi/ default is ic_launcher

if u make any changes to any of the above fields in your project, i.e. change the display name, u can either edit .gradleConfig manually, or run the setup script again:

$ npm run buildUtils setupGradle
