Resources are missing in apk

Question

I'm trying to add a .wav file to my React Native app and having a problem with Android implementation. The file keeps getting removed from the build (its' missing in the res/raw folder when I'm unzipping the apk).

Folder structure:

keep.xml content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:keep="@raw/push_notification_sound"
/>

Both shrinking and minifying are disabled in build.gradle for all build types:

minifyEnabled false
shrinkResources false

Any ideas what might be the reason behind this?

My bad should have put the assets into android/app/src/main/res/raw/
