Hi @stephenongunsw Thanks for registering this issue. We tested both Android and iOS. Seems like the issue is persistent in both platform. We will update here with the fix.

Hi @stephenongunsw  Thank you for waiting. Please refer to our support for achieving successful build for release variant in branch android/release-support.

Please note that, if you have updated to latest Xcode version you may face build issue for iOS. In that case, see our troubleshoot guide and update the react & react-native dependency in your package.json file.

Thank you @Mohtasim. Any reason this branch is not yet pulled into the main branch?
