how to make apk of react native app

Debug APK
How to generate one in 3 steps?
Step 1: Go to the root of the project in the terminal and run the below command:

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

Step 2: Go to android directory:

cd android

Step 3: Now in this android folder, run this command

./gradlew assembleDebug

There! you’ll find the apk file in the following path:
yourProject/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

Release APK
Step 1. Generate a keystore

You can create one using the keytool in the terminal with the following command:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore your_key_name.keystore -alias your_key_alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Once you run the keytool utility, you’ll be prompted to type in a password.
  *Make sure you remember the password


Step 2. Adding Keystore to your project

Copy the file your_key_name.keystore and paste it under the android/app 
directory in your React Native project folder.

On Terminal:

mv my-release-key.keystore /android/app

Release APK Generation

Place your terminal directory to android using:
cd android

For Windows,
gradlew assembleRelease

For Linux and Mac OSX:
./gradlew assembleRelease

As a result, the APK creation process is done. You can find the generated APK at
android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk.
