Android - Copy build output to another folder with Gradle

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.

my build command

Thank you

I found solution. I just added /p:MonoSymbolArchive=False to my command line

Did you build native libs with these commands?
CPU=armeabi-v7a
bazel build //tensorflow/examples/android:tensorflow_native_libs --crosstool_top=//external:android/crosstool --cpu=$CPU --host_crosstool_top=#bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain

cp bazel-bin/tensorflow/examples/android/libtensorflow_demo.so $NATIVE_FOLDER

Tensorflow cannot see the path to the NDK. You need to update the WORKSPACE file in the projects root folder with the NDK and sdk paths. you also need to install the correct NDK for your machine. Follow the instructions here

ActionBarSherlock: How To Build ViewPagerTutorial? No build.xml

I downloaded the ActionBarSherlock ViewPagerTutorial from here:
http://www.androidbegin.com/tutorial/android-actionbarsherlock-viewpager-tabs-tutorial/
But when I try to build the package it errors out saying:
$ ant debug
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
Where can I find the build.xml file for this package?

Where can I find the build.xml file for this package?
You create it, by running the android update project command.

How to build apk using commandline

I Want to build apk using commandline, I am using ant server by using it I am building apk with commandline but when I give this command ant debug it shows error BUILD FAILED Unable to locate tools.jar and then it gives error source resource doesnt exist

This might be because your JAVA_HOME is not set to your C:\Program Files\Java\jdk folder.
instead it might be set to C:\Program Files\Java\jre so it's not getting tools.jar.
just check out this.
You can do this in this way:
C:\>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk
C:\>ant debug
You need tools.jar file from your jdk/lib/ folder.
