react native android local images/icons assets not rendering

I'm working on a project with another dev and it started happening after I cloned the master branch, all the assets are still there in my project folder under assets/ and I can literally see them by navigating into the folder, but when I run my project (on android only), I cannot see any of the assets being loaded, only white backgrounds. It started happening when the other dev added some productFlavours for different env configurations. Below are some relevant details which I think is related to solving this issue but I cannot seem to do it...

Command I used to run my android project:- npx react-native run-android --variant=DevDebug

My android folder:-

Below is my android/app/build.gradle file:-

apply plugin: "com.android.application"

import com.android.build.OutputFile

project.ext.react = [
    enableHermes: (findProperty('expo.jsEngine') ?: "jsc") == "hermes",
    cliPath: new File(["node", "--print", "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim()).getParentFile().getAbsolutePath() + "/cli.js",
    hermesCommand: new File(["node", "--print", "require.resolve('hermes-engine/package.json')"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim()).getParentFile().getAbsolutePath() + "/%OS-BIN%/hermesc",
    composeSourceMapsPath: new File(["node", "--print", "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim()).getParentFile().getAbsolutePath() + "/scripts/compose-source-maps.js",
]

apply from: new File(["node", "--print", "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim(), "../react.gradle")
apply from: new File(["node", "--print", "require.resolve('@sentry/react-native/package.json')"].execute().text.trim(), "../sentry.gradle")

}

It would really help if someone could provide any solution to this problem, happy to provide any more info if needed!

You can run below command

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/

Or

add below code package.json file

"scripts": {
    "postinstall": "react-native-fix-image",
}

and then run the commant

npm run postinstall
