Answer 1

Here my solution: (I'm doing this for android)

First command:(Navigation to the Android folder of your react-native project)

cd Android

Second command:

./gradlew clean

Third commmand:

./gradlew cleanBuildCache

I'm not fan of deleting android folder. (I think this not a best approaches)

./gradlew bundleRelease
react-native run-android --variant=release
