In this article, I will show you how to generate the Android signed release APK file in ReactNative.

First, open the terminal and navigate to your project folder. Within the project folder, run the following command to generate the keystore file.

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias my-key-alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Then copy the my-release-key.keystore file from the project root folder into the android/app folder.
