In android studio
1) Click on 'Build' -> 'Generate Signed APK'
2) Fill keystore path ,alias, password...
3) Click on Next
4) You can see 'APK Destiantion Folder' field. Set your destination path as desktop
5) Click on Finish.
You can find your .apk file in desktop.

please check that 'release' folder is created or not at your destination. If it is created then you can find your apk file there with output.json file – Jaymin Soni Nov 25 '17 at 20:16

1There are no such files. But Android Studio writes: `APK(s) generated successfully`. – Dmitry Sep 04 '18 at 05:59

You need following things in order to produce signed apk file
- The keystore file which has the extension .jks and its password.
- The android project which has no compile-time errors.
The following steps to be followed.
- Choose Build>Generate Signed apk option in the android studio.
- Select the keystore file and enter its password.
- Click Next then Finish.
- After a successful build, you will get a link to the folder containing output file.
If you want to navigate manually, your signed apk file will be in
Project Folder -> app -> release -> app-release.apk
