Built the following apk(s):

what miss about me :( ? this firts i build apk . someone help me please.

You can install and see the debug version of the App using the command :
ionic cordova build android ( ie. without the Release flag --release )
If you want to install and see the Release version of your App, then you need to sign your App using a Key.
Step 1 : Generate your Private Key ( if you have one, then discard this step ) :
keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias my-alias
Step 2 : Sign your APK
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.jks android-release-unsigned.apk my-alias
Step 3 : Optimize your Apk using Zipalign
zipalign -v 4 android-release-unsigned.apk HelloWorld.apk
Refer this Link : https://ionicframework.com/docs/intro/deploying/ (Android Section)

The generate APK is unsigned (app-release-unsigned.apk). You can only install an unsigned APK on a emulator not a physical device.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
This means that the APK has built, it will be located here:
Copy\platforms\android\build\outputs\apk\android-release-unsigned.apk
then to install run this through terminal (if mac):
adb install PASTEHEREYOURPATH.apk
The generate APK is unsigned (app-release-unsigned.apk). You can only install an unsigned APK on a emulator not a physical device.

I dont get it, how come the init project of react-native comes with errors ? or I'm doing something wrong ? im not sure anymore, thanks!

I think you are using a new version of babel-preset-react-native library and there is an unsupported trailing commas on that new version.
You can install the previous version of the library:
npm uninstall babel-preset-react-native
npm install babel-preset-react-native#2.1.0
Edit - you can see the problem on playframework repository: issue#15513

However, I am unable to locate the apk. I tried looking in the app/outputs directory of my project, but that directory has just one folder called logs/ and no other folder. Any suggestions would help.

make project does not make an unsigned apk. I have made the same mistake What you can do is build the unsigned apk using gradle. Just follow the following steps (you can do it faster than it took me to type the steps):
To the left of the run button you should see a drop down list saying "app" with an android logo to the left of it. click it.
click on "Edit Configurations"
Click the green plus button on top left and select "Gradle"
Where it says name, enter what ever you want but leave the rest blank. I set mine as "Assemble"
Below where it says "Before launch: Gradle task" click the green plus sign and select "Run Gradle Task"
Where it says "tasks" type in "assemble"
Press okay and okay to save it
Press the run button. the apk will appear in YourProjectFolderName>app>build>outputs>apk
to change the run button back to running your app via adb just click the drop down button from step 1 again and select "app"
Also note that you cannot install a unsigned APK on a physical device. whether you're emailing the apk, copying it to the phone storage over usb, or any other method it will NOT let you install it. You will either need to create a signed apk (its very simple) or connect each test device to your computer and install it through adb.

Android studio does not start the application on the external device(application does not get installed)

I am trying android studio for the first time.
I have connected external android device via USB (debugging device settings are done in android device). I click on run button with selection as USB device.
The Run console shows this

Target device: iball-3g_q1035-0123456789ABCDEF
Whereas my gradle console shows this
