Summary

Android Build Process - APK/AAB Generation
Summary
I will generate and share the Android build files (APK or AAB) for your React Native project. If any issues or bugs are encountered during the build process, I will identify and fix them to ensure a smooth and error-free build. Let me know if you have any specific requirements!
Process for Generating & Sharing Android Build Files
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of what you (as the customer) need to provide, what I (as the developer) will do, and how the process works.
1. Customer Provides:
✅ Complete React Native project source code (GitHub/ZIP file) ✅ Android keystore file (for signed builds) or I can generate one ✅ Keystore credentials (alias, password, key password) ✅ Any specific requirements or configurations for the build ✅ Target build type preference (APK for direct install or AAB for Play Store)
2. Developer (Me) Will Do:
🔹 Setup & Review Check the project structure, dependencies, and configurations. Ensure all required packages and libraries are installed. Verify Android SDK and build tools compatibility.
🔹 Dependency Installation Run npm install / yarn install to install project dependencies. Sync Android Gradle files and resolve any dependency conflicts.
🔹 Android Studio/Gradle Configuration Open the project in Android Studio (android folder). Configure applicationId, versionCode, and versionName in build.gradle. Set up signing configuration with your keystore or generate a new one. Configure build variants (debug/release) as needed.
🔹 Build & Debug Run npx react-native run-android or build through Android Studio. If any issues arise during the build, debug and fix them (e.g., dependency conflicts, Gradle issues, native module problems). Test the build on emulator/device to ensure functionality.
🔹 Generate Android Build Files For APK: Run cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease to generate signed APK. For AAB: Run cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease to generate Android App Bundle. Optimize and verify the build files for distribution.
3. Deliverables (What Customer Gets):
✅ The finalized Android build file (APK or AAB) ✅ A detailed report of any fixes or modifications made ✅ Keystore file and credentials (if generated) ✅ Instructions on how to install, test, or upload to Play Store ✅ Build configuration summary (app version, target SDK, etc.)
4. How It Works:
1️⃣ You provide the project and signing requirements. 2️⃣ I configure, build, and debug the Android version. 3️⃣ If any issues occur, I fix them. 4️⃣ I generate the APK/AAB file(s). 5️⃣ I share the build file(s) with you for testing or Play Store upload.
Additional Notes:
APK files are ideal for direct installation and testing
AAB files are required for Google Play Store uploads (smaller download size)
I can generate both formats if needed
Includes proguard/R8 optimization for release builds
Compatible with all React Native versions and popular libraries

Muhammad Azhar Iqbal helped me fix a React Native app that was completely broken with bugs. He got it working and helped me build a clean APK. Quick work and knew what he was doing. Would recommend.
