If you are building a hybrid app (some UIs in React Native, some UIs in platform code) you can still use images that are already bundled into the app.

For images included via Xcode asset catalogs or in the Android drawable folder, use the image name without the extension:

```javascript
<Image source={{uri: 'app_icon'}} style={{width: 40, height: 40}} />
```

This approach provides no safety checks. It's up to you to guarantee that those images are available in the application. Also you have to specify image dimensions manually.
For images in the Android assets folder, use the `asset:/` scheme:

```javascript
<Image source={{uri: 'asset:/app_icon.png'}} style={{width: 40, height: 40}} />
```
