Duplicate with #24518

I'll review and land #24518 first if possible. If #24518 gets merged, I'll close out this PR.

When you bundle the file using the following code:

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

duplicate image files get generated in the drawable folder in the following path:

"android/app/src/main/res/drawable-xxx/"

Delete all those duplicate files and run:

react-native run-android

It will generate apk file.

Closing because this is a duplicate.
