Have you installed jetifier and done jetify (also enable jetify inside config) before running the release? I was having a similar (not exactly the same) problem with the message Execution failed for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets'. and this solved it for me.

[Navidhp]

@RageBill yes i installed jetifier and run jetify , i don't think has connection to andoridX

Same error here, with the same config and react-native 0.60.4.

i found this in code fb :

Lazy compilation
Iteration speed is one of the main benefits of a JavaScript-based platform, but compiling bytecode in advance would chip away at this advantage. To keep reloads fast, Hermes debug builds don’t use ahead-of-time compilation; instead, they generate bytecode lazily on device. This allows for rapid iteration using Metro or another source of plain JavaScript code to run. The trade-off is that lazy-compiled bytecode does not include all the optimizations of a production build. In practice, although we can measure the difference in performance, we have found this approach is sufficient to provide a good developer experience without affecting production metrics.

Any news on this? I have been dealing with this for a while now...

[Navidhp]

@wmonecke inline require is oky but ram-bundle not supported by hermes

[Navidhp]

any news ??

[fonov]

Note: If you are using Hermes JS Engine, you do not need RAM bundles. When loading the bytecode, mmap ensures that the entire file is not loaded.

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/performance#enable-the-ram-format

[fonov]

just delete bundleCommand: "ram-bundle", from app/build.gradle

[Navidhp]

fixed we don't needed ram-bundle with hermes
