i think there is an expo config plugin that you can use to add drawable resources in android.

[sraut1]

Thanks for quick response @wilmxre, I am looking for such plugin but not able to find the good documentation for it.

[wilmxre]

take a look at this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/76773373/13582097

you will need to run expo prebuild to generate the native ios and android directories (you can add the -p option to only generate the android directory).

you can then add the xml files of the desired icons either by dropping them under android/app/src/main/res/drawable manually or by adding a config plugin that will do it for you so you don't have to interact with the native directories at all.

just make sure that after you've generated the directories and added the icons, create a custom dev build

Thanks @wilmxre, We prebuild and generate the native folders, but we refrain from committing them into the codebase. While exploring the linked Stack Overflow solution you provided, I pondered whether modifying files on the fly would be a sound practice or efficient. Nonetheless, I'm willing to give it a try. Thank you for your assistance

@sraut1 just curious if you ever figured this out? I am wondering how in the world you add images to xcassets and drawables in expo managed apps. it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

[wilmxre]

i don't think there is something to lose if you generate the native directories and add them manually. i think the go to way to build expo apps, is by creating custom dev builds, where you get access to the native android and ios folders. using only expo go is very limiting and it is meant to be used only as a quick prototyping tool. you can also play around with expo config plugins.

@sraut1 @alaughlin you should look into this: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v51.0.0/sdk/asset/#configuration-in-appjsonappconfigjs

@wilmxre Thanks man, I am excited for expo 51 lot of cool features.
