There is a snippet inspired from this article in android/app/build.gradle which involves the command security (MacOS only), feel free to remove the signingConfigs key and all the code related to APK signature, it should probably fix the issue you ran into!

[Frank Lan]

I remove the following code in android/app/build.gradle,

    signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file("eltwallet-key.keystore")
            storePassword pass
            keyAlias "eltwallet"
            keyPassword pass
        }
    }

And run react-native run-android. Same error occured.

I also tried on a Mac, same error.

So, this ends up with, it works on Mac, but I can't find a way to get it working on Ubuntu.
