   Hi @GunaShekar02,

   It looks like you're using Expo to build your application, so I am not sure this is the best repository to get help.

   It looks like this error message was already reported on Expo's forum and the OP seems to have solved their issue: https://forums.expo.io/t/failed-to-read-png-signature-file-does-not-start-with-png-signature/23806

   Hope that helps!

   For feature googlers: in my case i just upgraded to RN 0.60, which places an empty ic_launcher_round.png file in my app/src/main/res/mipmax-xxx folders. Place a real png file there and the error should be gone!

   Using "expo-cli build:android -t apk" instead of "exp build:android" worked for me at that point.

   @muganwas Hi~~
   Maybe try this I used to debug release build in old version, but still looks work for me now(I'm trying to update to 0.61.5).
   I can't found the source where I found it, just copy from my old code and add in similar way.
   My version now: RN 0.61.5
   Change or add some code from here:
   \node_modules\react-native\react.gradle

   if (enableHermes) {
                   doLast {
                       def hermesFlags;
                       def hbcTempFile = file("${jsBundleFile}.hbc")
                       exec {
                           if (targetName.toLowerCase().contains("release")) {
                               // Can't use ?: since that will also substitute valid empty lists
                               hermesFlags = config.hermesFlagsRelease
                               if (hermesFlags == null) hermesFlags = ["-O", "-output-source-map"]
                           } else {
                               hermesFlags = config.hermesFlagsDebug
                               if (hermesFlags == null) hermesFlags = []
                           }
                           
                           if (Os.isFamily(Os.FAMILY_WINDOWS)) {
                               commandLine("cmd", "/c", getHermesCommand(), "-emit-binary", "-out", hbcTempFile, jsBundleFile, *hermesFlags)
                           } else {
                               commandLine(getHermesCommand(), "-emit-binary", "-out", hbcTempFile, jsBundleFile, *hermesFlags)
                           }

                           file: hbcTempFile,
                           toFile: jsBundleFile
                       );
                       if (hermesFlags.contains("-output-source-map")) {
                           ant.move(
                               // Hermes will generate a source map with this exact name
