Android Studio not generating signed APK, despite saying that it successfully did

Question

This may seem like a duplicate question, as there are 4 or 5 other exact questions. But I have tried the solutions to every other question like this with no luck.

Basically, I've been successfully generating signed APKs for weeks now, but out of the blue 3 days ago the signed APK is not being generated. Simply nothing gets generated, even though Android Studio says that it has successfully generated it.

I am using Android Studio 3.0.

I have tried totally uninstalling/reinstalling AS, I've made sure that both APK option checkboxes are checked during the signed APK generation dialog window.

I have many times restarted Android Studio and my computer, as well as cleaning/rebuilding many times. I do not know what to do from here.

I really need to get an update of my app out to Google Play but I cannot generate the new APK.

Answer 1

The apk is probably being generated but not on the path you expect. Look around the project subdirectories or search for apk using your operating system search tools.

Answer 2

我也遇到了同样的问题，你需要做的是将项目迁移到Android studio 3.0后，删除路径/project/app中已经生成的已签名apk并再次生成已签名的apk，你会在同一个文件夹中看到一个release文件夹目录。
