error: uncompiled PNG file passed as argument. Must be compiled first into .flat file

Question

In react-native, I am trying to generate signed APK following their instructions. But when I execute this ./gradlew assembleRelease command it shows me this error. Error details.

My platform:

OS: Windows 10
node: 8.9.1
npm: 5.5.1
react: 16.3.2
react-native: 0.55

Can anybody tell me, why I am getting this error?

I got a solution here by adding android.enableAapt2=false into android/gradle.properties. Apparently, I read that it's only a temporary solution. No way to solve it with others solutions?

@Rishabh Bhatia, Using this link I can create debug APK, but same error happens when I try to create the release APK. — Arif, Apr 28 '18 at 18:00
This is an error with the Gradle version. You can use the lower version 2.3.3 but that's not a permanent solution either... — Ishita Sinha, May 24 '18 at 05:53
@loveNZ Yes. The answer is already in my question details. Read my question details correctly. — Arif, Jun 01 '18 at 03:20
this is still an issue! non of the above issues on github work, even though they are all closed.. this is unbelievable, can't create out of the box apk. ps: `android.enableAapt2=false` does not work for me — Blue Bot, Jul 18 '18 at 16:49
@atitpatel It's current solution is adding `android.enableAapt2=false` into `android/gradle.properties`. There is no other solution i find yet. — Arif, Jul 25 '18 at 10:48
have you solve this. when i use this `android.enableAapt2=false` it create apk successfully but with blank white screen. — Anurag Shrivastava, Aug 03 '18 at 07:31
@AnuragShrivastava Yes. I have solved using `android.enableAapt2=false`. But don't have any issue like you. I thing you are having different issue. Make sure your android app is running on real device at debug mode. — Arif, Aug 03 '18 at 09:44

Add org.gradle.configureondemand=true to android/gradle.properties

I would not recommend using this. Because of RN Documentation says: ```Note: Make sure gradle.properties does not include org.gradle.configureondemand=true as that will make the release build skip bundling JS and assets into the APK.```.
