'App launch crash -- unable to load script
I generated signed release universal apk for React Native 0.67.4 app and the release app installed on real device keeps crashing with the following error:

The android studio is 2021.1.1 patch 2 and here is the output of ./gradlew --version:
% ./gradlew --version

The package was built with /gradlew assembleRelease following the standard signing config for React Native. Hermes enabled and ProGuard true in config. What is missing with the release package?
