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

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.

I too faced the same issue, what you need to do is after migrating a project to Android studio 3.0, delete the already generated signed apk in path /project/app and generate the signed apk again, you will see a release folder in the same directory.

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.
