 1 | > The instructions are the collective efforts from a few places online. 
 2 | Nothing here is my original. But I want to put them together in one place to save people from spending the same time.
 3 | 
 4 | First off, bundle.
 5 | ==================
 6 | 
 7 | 1. Go to the project directory cd
 8 | 2. Start the react-native packager if not started
 9 | 3. Download the bundle to the asset folder:
10 | 
11 | ```sh
12 | $ curl "http://localhost:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android" -o "android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle"
13 | ```
14 | (Thanks : https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2743#issuecomment-140697340)
15 | 
16 | Note: make sure there is assets folder under android/app/src/main beforehand, and check if there is any error in the packager terminal window after curl.
17 | 
18 | Secondly, compile release version.
19 | ==================================
20 | 
21 | 1. cd to {YOUR_PROJECT}/android
22 | 2. Build release version
23 | ```sh
24 | $ ./gradlew assembleRelease
25 | ```
26 | 
27 | Thirdly, sign the apk.
28 | ======================
29 | 
30 | 1. To generate keystore
31 | ```sh
32 | $ keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-keystore.keystore -alias name_alias -keyalg RSA -validity 10000
33 | ```
34 | 2. To sign an apk
35 | ```sh
36 | $ jarsigner -verbose -keystore <path of my-keystore.keystore> <path of apk>  alias_name
37 | ```
38 | 3. To zip align an apk
39 | ```sh
40 | $ zipalign -f -v 4 <your.apk >  <your_aligned.apk>
41 | ```
