In my case to get my debug build - I have to turn off Instant Run option :

File → Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Instant Run and uncheck Enable Instant Run.

Then after run project - I found my build into Application\app\build\outputs\appDebug\apk directory

When you have android studio make your signed apk file it uses

    <property name="ExportedApkPath" value="$PROJECT_DIR$/PROJNAME/APPNAME.apk" />

inside workspace.xml to find out where to place it. However, if you use ./gradlew assembleRelease it places it inside PROJNAME/build/apk. I have the same problem. For some reason my android studio will not show me anything inside the apk subdirectory so the apk is for all intents and purposes missing. But if you search with finder it's most definitely there.
