Description

Hi
I am trying to use this module. I created the rn-cli.config.js and transformer.js file in my project root folder and kept the default obfuscatingTransformer options (So `module.exports = obfuscatingTransformer({})`).
But this doesn't seem to work. The index.android.bundle file in the generated app-release.apk still remains unobfuscated (I performed a `gradlew assembleRelease` like usual to create the bundle before
`react-native run-android --variant=release`)
What am I doing wrong?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the reported rn-cli.config.js and transformer.js setup, then inspect the release flow using gradlew assembleRelease and react-native run-android --variant=release. Compare the generated index.android.bundle in the app-release.apk with the expected obfuscated output; done means the release bundle is obfuscated.
