Release build unable to access .env file on android

ensure that you add your BuildConfig to your proguard rules. Took me hours to figure out. IMHO the README needs a major makeover. This should be pretty much on top it.

In your proguard-rules.pro add

-keep class my.app.package.BuildConfig { *; }

Obviously you need to adapt the package to your actual app package name

-keep class my.app.package.BuildConfig { *; }

Thankyou! Its working after add this line pro-guard

I had done the above, but it still didn't work. Thank you @rburgst for writing also this, which I had missed!:

With that it works properly. As stated in another issue, the readme needs an overhaul!

[xlcrr]

xlcrr I had to upgrade my RN to 0.72.3 the latest version.

Thanks for the reply. I am using 0.72.3 and its not working out of the box on android, will post my solution when I find it

Thanks for the tip but updating proguard-rules.pro did not work for me

If anyone would like to help collaborate on an open source project with latest versions of everything I would really love some help here!

Happy to post the solution when I get it

Latest minor react-native release fixed it for me, 0.72.3 -> 0.72.4

No idea why this fixed it for me but I was running through an npm script that was also doing ./gradlew clean which stopped this from working properly. Removing that fixed the issue for me.

Hello, I was trying to update from react-native 0.71.11 to 0.72.6 and I started to face the same issue, any news on that?

[FranciscoPDNeto]

After including the ENVFILE env var right before running react-native it worked, it seems react is trying to make some validation with build gradle before ./gradlew install, and then the env file was not injected
