React Native: Java heap space

Question

I'm currently building my android APK with react native, following the doc.

I got this error:

./gradlew bundleRelease

When I run ./gradlew signingReport everything is OK:

Here is my android/gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true

android.enableJetifier=true

FLIPPER_VERSION=0.93.0

MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_FILE=my-upload-key.keystore
MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS=my-key-alias
MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_PASSWORD=computer
MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD=computer

I could find a way to solve this issue on this post:

React Native Task :app:validateSigningDebug FAILED

I also use the official template for my debug.keystore: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/react-native/master/template/android/app/debug.keystore

How to solve this issue ?

Even though you are getting an error at the signing step it seems that is not related to it, but instead just java running out of memory.

Try adding the line below into your gradle.properties to increase the Java heap size.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2g -XX\:MaxHeapSize\=4g
