application via <a href="https://play.google.com/store" target="_blank">Google Play store</a>, you&#x27;ll need to generate a signed release APK. The <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html" target="_blank">Signing Your Applications</a> page on Android Developers documentation describes the topic in detail. This guide covers the process in brief, as well as lists the steps required to packaging the JavaScript bundle.</p><h3><a class="anchor" name="generating-a-signing-key"></a>Generating a signing key <a class="hash-link" href="#generating-a-signing-key">#</a></h3><p>You can generate a private signing key using <code>keytool</code>.</p><div class="prism language-javascript">$ keytool <span class="token operator">-</span>genkey <span class="token operator">-</span>v <span class="token operator">-</span>keystore my<span class="token operator">-</span>release<span class="token operator">-</span>key<span class="token punctuation">.</span>keystore <span class="token operator">-</span>alias my<span class="token operator">-</span>key<span class="token operator">-</span>alias <span class="token operator">-</span>keyalg RSA <span class="token operator">-</span>keysize <span class="token number">2048</span> <span class="token operator">-</span>validity <span class="token number">10000</span></div><p>This command prompts you for passwords for the keystore and key, and to provide the Distinguished Name fields for your key. It then generates the keystore as a file called <code>my-release-key.keystore</code>.</p><p>The keystore contains a single key, valid for 10000 days. The alias is a name that you will use later when signing your app, so remember to take note of the alias.</p><p><em>Note: Remember to keep your keystore file private and never commit it to version control.</em></p><h3><a class="anchor" name="setting-up-gradle-variables"></a>Setting up gradle variables <a class="hash-link" href="#setting-up-gradle-variables">#</a></h3><ol><li>Place the <code>my-release-key.keystore</code> file under the <code>android/app</code> directory in your project folder.</li><li>Edit the file <code>~/.gradle/gradle.properties</code> and add the following (replace <code>*****</code> with the correct keystore password, alias and key password),</li></ol><div class="prism language-javascript">MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE<span class="token operator">=</span>my<span class="token operator">-</span>release<span class="token operator">-</span>key<span class="token punctuation">.</span>keystore

React Native also has several components written in C/C++, Proguard only strips Java code.</p><p><em>Note: Make sure to thoroughly test your app if you&#x27;ve enabled Proguard. Proguard often requires configuration specific to each native library you&#x27;re using. See <code>app/proguard-rules.pro</code>.</em></p><p>To enable Proguard, set <code>minifyEnabled</code> to <code>true</code>:</p><div class="prism language-javascript"><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span>
