I am trying to build release apk for a react native app. I have created keystore and also added the info in the build.gradle file as suggested in the docs.
But It is getting stuck at app:mergeReleaseResources for 30-40 mins no results. I have tried with different apps, the one's which used to built in the past but its not working now.
I even tried reinstalling Android Studio and SDK but its still stuck.
Please help.
here is the log -
