App bundle(s) generated successfully: 
Module 'app': locate or analyze the app bundle.

When i click locate i can't find apk file

Please go to your Project folder. Then go to app folder. There will be a release folder. Release apk will be there in that folder. — DAS, Jun 27 '19 at 08:57

see you are generating android app bundle as per below message

App bundle(s) generated successfully: 
Module 'app': locate or analyze the app bundle.

so there should be .aab file instead of apk

if you are generating app bundle you can find it under

app>build>outputs>release>your_app_name.aab

to generate apk you must follow these steps

build>generate singed bundle/apk > select apk > then proceed

I think you made a mistake while generating Signed APk. You have to select 'APK' option in the first dialog appears while generating Signed APk.

Then Please go to your Project folder. Then go to app folder. There will be a release folder. Release apk will be there in that folder
