bundleRelease fails with "Task :app:collectReleaseDependencies FAILED"

When trying to bundle a signed release of my React Native App for Android (on Mac)

./gradlew bundleRelease

fails with message

> Task :app:collectReleaseDependencies FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:collectReleaseDependencies'.
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

When executing ./gradlew bundleRelease --info I get this error:

> Task :app:collectReleaseDependencies FAILED
Task :app:collectReleaseDependencies in @react-native-community_async-storage Starting
file or directory '/Users/ingohinterding/github/codegreen/android/app/libs', not found

I added that folder android/app/libs and when I run ./gradlew bundleRelease --info again this is the new error:

> Task :app:collectReleaseDependencies FAILED
Task :app:collectReleaseDependencies in @react-native-community_async-storage Starting
Caching disabled for task ':app:collectReleaseDependencies' because:
  Build cache is disabled
Task ':app:collectReleaseDependencies' is not up-to-date because:

:app:collectReleaseDependencies (Thread[Execution worker for ':' Thread 6,5,main]) completed. Took 0.339 secs.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Note: When trying ./gradlew assembleReleaseit builds successful, but the APK gets rejected from the Google Play Store because it is not optimized.

Since I'm a beginner at RN I'm not sure what to look for and which information is needed here. React Native version is 0.59.9(lots of stuff breaks if I update so I'll try to keep it this version).

I was successful doing the following:

  1. Update Android Studio to the latest version
  2. Update Gradle to the latest version
  3. build with ./gradlew bundleRelease --build-cache

Hope this helps others with the same issue.
