Android - ./gradlew bundleRelease not including ic_launcher_round from settings

[TimothyDLewis]

On latest major version of react-native, ./gradlew bundleRelease followed by react-native run-android --variant=release results in an .apk file with default Android icon for ic_launcher_round (newer version of Android on installed device)

Can confirm that icons are included correctly:

And referenced in AndroidManifest.xml:

<application
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
>
</application>

Running in debug mode via react-native run-android results in the correct icon being displayed on device after installation, but bundling/installing in release mode shows default android icon.

I am having a similar problem, but the bundling is not including the index.android.bundle, which is sort of a huge problem... I can only include if I first run assembleRelease
