When I run 

npx react-native run-android --variant=release

in RN 0.61.3 and I receive this error message. 

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle'

The build works fine when debugging without the release variant.

For some reason I needed to create the assets folder as per below.

android/app/src/main/assets

  • Go to android/app/src/main/
  • Create one more folder of the name assets
    It will look like android/app/src/main/assets
  • Then run it. Absolutely workable.

You can use this command:

npx mkdirp android/app/src/main/assets/ && react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/

You should use this command to create assets folder in android.

Run this command in project directory.

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

Please use this, Its help me.
