So something strange happened, when developing I noticed that my react-native app compiled but wasn't visible (not found on the apps list/tray) on my emulator although the react-native run-android launches it (both debug and release) but when I go to Settings > Apps I can see the app listed there, I thought this was some new thing to react for dev environments, but I noticed that after compiling my app as release I can't find it on the phone until I go to Settings > Apps and even from there I can't launch.

Another thing I first noticed was, that the first time I compile the release, while trying to install a notice appeared on my screen saying, Google play connect rejected my app, and at first I couldn't install the app, but after rerunning the compilation I was able to, but now the app can't be launched.

I have generated a signed apk and have set it up in android > app > build.gradle

Please find below my environment's information.

It looks like your issue may be missing some necessary information. Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

@abtuleshov I couldn't, I simply started a new react-native project, copied my source files and reinstalled my dependencies.

having the same issue, its not a SO question.. app is installed and opens after using react-native run-android but no app icon.
the app is in Installed Apps and its possible to removed. This started happening after deleting the app a couple of times.
@thecodecafe not a solution for me, its a production app :/

I had this problem and the issue is that i put <data android:scheme="@string/facebook_app_id" /> inside the same intent-filter as action and category.

Just take data out and put it in another intent-filter like:

<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <data android:scheme="@string/facebook_app_id" />
            </intent-filter>

Thats solve the problem for me :)

        android:launchMode="singleTop">

            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE"/>

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
            <data android:host="example.page.link" android:scheme="http"/>
            <data android:host="example.page.link" android:scheme="https"/>

I don't think it would be possible to write react-native apps without folks like you and others sharing these tips. THANK YOU!!
