Summary: This fix aims to address the issue when bundling an Android app for release and getting the error exhibited in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/28002 which I also encountered myself. The config was changed sometime in November 2019 (as part of https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/26940, commit https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/a3b08048674e324dbe1f0ca816f35607e9e06a2f) to be very opinionated when it comes to the use of `npx` which Gradle itself cannot find anyway (I have `npx` installed globally and it didn't pick it up). Another issue that the use of `npx` creates is that Gradle should only ever use the currently installed react-native cli rather than a (possibly) higher version which may not always have backward compatibility. The proposed change simply throws a more descriptive error rather than defaulting to a tool which may or may not exist on the machine, be it CI or a development environment. I've also modified the RNTester app to reflect the correct config implementation relative to the RNTester app itself. In real projects, the config inside `android/app/build.gradle` should look similar to the following snippet: ``` project.ext.react = [ cliPath: "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/cli.js", entryFile: "index.js" ]; ``` ## Changelog [Android] [Fixed] - Gradle release config Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/28415 Test Plan: - [x] Successfully bundled an Android release build with correct config - [x] Works with RNTester app Reviewed By: mdvacca Differential Revision: D20714372 Pulled By: hramos fbshipit-source-id: 4d66139249c6f840582a71a48c64e6a6595f7af0

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 10.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in the React Native Community, @react-native-community/react-native-releases.
