I am trying to build my React Native Android app on Visual Studio App Center and I get this error:

It's incorrectly looking for my APK in the app/app/build/... instead of app/build/...So I want to copy the files to app/app/build/.. so it finds them there.
I can't copy the files with a post-build script because it runs after the script that throws the error.
Is it possible to somehow achieve copying with Gradle? Or maybe have multiple build paths? Or some other solution?
The problem was that I had gradlew, gradlew.bat and gradle folder in my appmodule folder. I must have mistakenly opened the app folder alone in Android Studio and synced the project.
I solved it by creating a fresh React Native project.
