The command react-native run-android
is used to build and run a React Native project on an Android device or emulator.
The --variant=${release}
part is an option used to specify the build variant to be used. In this case, ${release}
is a placeholder for the actual build variant name.
Build variants in React Native can be used to create different versions of the application, such as a debug version for development and a release version for production. The specific variant to use can be specified with this command.
To use this command, you would replace ${release}
with the name of the variant you want to build and run. For example, if you have a variant named "prod", the command would become react-native run-android --variant=prod
.
Using the correct variant is important as different variants may have different configurations, like API endpoints, external libraries, and other settings specific to that build variant.
