How to generate signed apk in react native 0.60-RC

Can't generate signed apk that can be installed directly on device without connecting to the server.The command given in new documentation is

   cd android
   $ ./gradlew bundleRelease

which will generate .aab file and app-debug.apk only.

can I use the below command to generate apk in react native 0.60-RC? Can't find that command in their updated document.

 $ ./gradlew assembleRelease

.aab is a bundle file which can replace release .apk, anw, you can open Android Studio, build a release APK follow Build/Generate Signed Bundle(s)/ APK and tick on APK checkbox

UPDATE .aab cannot install directly, but if you want to install the app on a real device without a server (node), you can using below way

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

cd android
$ ./gradlew assembleDebug

now the debug APK file includes the bundle server, so you can install it on your real device independently.
