@nx/react-native:build-android

Build target options for Android.

Options can be configured in project.json when defining the executor, or when invoking it. Read more about how to configure targets and executors here: https://nx.dev/reference/project-configuration#targets.

project.json:

{
  "name": "mobile",
  //...
  "targets": {
    //...
    "build-android": {
      "executor": "@nx/react-native:build-android",
      "outputs": [
        "{projectRoot}/build/outputs/bundle",
        "{projectRoot}/build/outputs/apk"
      ],
      "options": {}
    }
  }
}
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/

nx run mobile:build-android

Examples

The tasks option accepts any custom gradle task, such as assembleDebug, assembleRelease, bundleDebug, bundleRelease, installDebug, installRelease. For example, pass in bundleRelease or bundleRelease to tasks, it will create with .aab extension under bundle folder. Pass in assembleDebug or assembleRelease to tasks, it will create a build with .apk extension under apk folder. Pass in installDebug or installRelease to tasks, it will create a build with .apk extension and immediately install it on a running emulator or connected device.
