bundleInDebug = true 

This property doesn't exists. The documentation of the Gradle Plugin is on the website.

Specifically what you're looking for is debuggablevariants I suppose: https://reactnative.dev/docs/0.71/react-native-gradle-plugin#debuggablevariants

Still you don't need to specify bundleInDebug at all

thanks

// React Native <= 0.70.x
project.ext.react = [
  // ...
  bundleInDebug: System.getenv("FORCE_BUNDLING") != null,
]

// React Native >= 0.71.x
react {
    debuggableVariants = System.getenv("FORCE_BUNDLING") ? [] : ["debug"]
}

hi! do you happen to know the equivalent of jsBundleDirRelease (or debug) in React Native >= 0.71.x? since the prop is not exist anymore
