react-native: Build the current application in `release` mode and start it on a connected Android device or emulator.
$ react-native run-android --variant=${release}
try on your machine

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.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
