apk release with warning Disconnected from the dev Server

[eeuruetade]

Describe the bug

Hello, I am generating an apk release and when it is installed it throws me the following message

Disconnected from the dev Server: undefined

When I generate it, the console shows me the following:

? [21:37:51.933Z][webpack.DefinePlugin] Replaced "__DEV__" with "true"
? [21:37:51.935Z][webpack.DefinePlugin] Replaced "__DEV__" with "true"
? [21:37:51.940Z][webpack.DefinePlugin] Replaced "process.env.NODE_ENV" with ""development""
? [21:37:51.959Z][webpack.DefinePlugin] Replaced "process.env.NODE_ENV" with ""development""

My build scripts:

"build:aab": "react-native build-android --mode=release",
"build:android": "cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease",
"bundle": "yarn bundle:ios && yarn bundle:android",
"bundle:ios": "react-native webpack-bundle --platform ios --entry-file index.js --dev false ",
"bundle:android": "react-native webpack-bundle --platform android --entry-file index.js --dev false"

My package.json

 "dependencies": {
    "@react-native-masked-view/masked-view": "^0.3.1",
    "@react-navigation/bottom-tabs": "^6.6.1",
    "@react-navigation/native": "^6.1.18",
    "@react-navigation/native-stack": "^6.11.0",
    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-native": "0.74.5",
    "react-native-gesture-handler": "^2.18.1",
    "react-native-safe-area-context": "^4.10.9",
    "react-native-screens": "^3.34.0",
    "redaxios": "^0.5.1"
  },

I can't find what configuration to make it correctly take the apk release as production.

hi @eeuruetade,

the issues you are having is caused by --dev false not being parsed correctly when building the bundle so when building for release you ended up with development bundle.

This was fixed in https://github.com/callstack/repack/pull/697 and will be released on monday, as part of 4.3.0.

I'll close this, since it's a duplicate of #695
