# The `/android` folder inside `react-native`
|
|
|
|
Starting from React Native 0.71, we're not shipping the `/android` folder inside the React Native NPM package
|
|
anymore due to sizing constraints on NPM. The Android artifacts are distributed via Maven Central.
|
|
You can read more about it in this RFC:
|
|
https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/508
|
|
|
|
If you're a library author and you're manipulating the React Native .aar files, to extract headers,
|
|
extract `.so` files or do anything with it, you're probably doing something wrong. React Native
|
|
0.71 ships with all the necessary logic to let you consume it transparently by just using:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
implementation("com.facebook.react:react-android")
|
|
// or to keep backward compatibility with older versions of React Native:
|
|
implementation("com.facebook.react:react-native:+")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should consider refactoring your library code not to unzip/manipulate the React Native .aar files.
|
|
|
|
This README.md file is kept in this folder as some libraries are checking the existence of the `/android` folder
|
|
and failing user builds if the folder is missing.
