1) First create the bundle:

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.android.js \
  --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle \
  --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/

2) Then assemble the release to install to:

cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease && cd -

3) Then check that device is the only connected device with:

adb devices

4) And finally install the release:

cd android && ./gradlew installRelease && cd -

Step #2 is not mandatory, but it's generally good to create the release APK.
