Summary: On Android, when resource shrinking is enabled, all resources added by Metro may be removed as react-native is accessing resources based on strings rather than references, so AGP can't see its usage. Example output of `android/app/build/outputs/mapping/release/resources.txt `when `shrinkResources` is enabled. ``` raw/__node_modules_expo_vectoricons_build_vendor_reactnativevectoricons_fonts_materialcommunityicons : reachable=false drawable/__common_assets_haptics_icon : reachable=false ``` It’s a coincidence that most of the resources are currently working, as many file names begin with strings that already exist in the String Pool. For example, `node_modules...` is flagged as used because 'node' is present in the String Pool, causing it to be whitelisted. However, this does not guarantee that the same will apply to all files - especially in a monorepo setup, where paths are significantly different. For example * `__node_modules_expo_vectoricons_build_vendor_reactnativevectoricons_fonts_materialcommunityicons` * `__common_assets_haptics_icon` To prevent that behavior, metro during assets export should create `keep.xml` listing all resources generated by metro. https://developer.android.com/build/shrink-code#keep-resources We have already made a similar change in expo cli: https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/35465 ## Changelog: [ANDROID][ADDED] - Generate keep.xml to prevent resource shrinking Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/50620 Test Plan: 1. Enable resource shrinking in RNTester by adding this to `android.buildTypes.release` to `packages/rn-tester/android/app/build.gradle.kts` ```gradle isMinifyEnabled = true isShrinkResources = true ``` 2. Use some resources in playground, for example: ```diff diff --git a/packages/rn-tester/js/examples/Playground/RNTesterPlayground.js b/packages/rn-tester/js/examples/Playground/RNTesterPlayground.js index 9dbacb99701..9ac9c231f3f 100644 --- a/packages/rn-tester/js/examples/Playground/RNTesterPlayground.js +++ b/packages/rn-tester/js/examples/Playground/RNTesterPlayground.js @@ -11,16 +11,14 @@ import type {RNTesterModuleExample} from '../../types/RNTesterTypes'; -import RNTesterText from '../../components/RNTesterText'; import * as React from 'react'; import {StyleSheet, View} from 'react-native'; +import {Header} from "react-native/Libraries/NewAppScreen"; function Playground() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> - <RNTesterText> - Edit "RNTesterPlayground.js" to change this file - </RNTesterText> + <Header /> </View> ); } ``` 3.

React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.
Getting Started · Learn the Basics · Showcase · Contribute · Community · Support
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 15.1 and Android 7.0 (API 24) 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 repository, @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 this discussion repo.
