Here are the steps i need you to follow to solve this issue.

Delete android folder and do react-native upgrade (not react-native run-android)

create the folder in the following location.

your_app/android/app/src/main

Perform the following command in root directory. (simply copy and paste the below code)

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js   --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle   --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/

Please note if you are using index.android.js then replace it in --entry-file.

and lastly

cd android && ./gradlew installDebug

Hope this solves your solution.
