Build failed react-native in windows but run fine on developement mode

Question

I am working on a react-native project and it is working fine on development mode (running via react-native run-android) but when I tried to generate unsigned APK using this link I got some errors which I showed below.

I followed the first comment and it is to run this command on root of my project.

react-native bundle --dev false --platform android --entry-file index.js --bundle-output ./android/app/build/intermediates/assets/debug/index.android.bundle
--assets-dest ./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debu

and when it finished run this command in android directory.

gradlew assembleDebug

But when I run gradlew assembleDebug command I got following errors.

error: resource android:style/TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored not found. error: resource android:style/TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored not found.

I have trying it from yesterday and searched about it too much on google and stackoverflow but still not find any suitable solution for it.

Kindly please guide me and help to solve it and please don't give thumbs down to this question because it is different and I haven't find any answer of it and and I have did everything to solve it.

Update

I have added some lines which I found on github and the APK generates successfully but its not installing in my phone. And these lines are following:

subprojects {
  project.configurations.all {
      afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion 27
                buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
            }
        }
    }
  }
}

Thank you for your help in advance.

Can you provide the supportLibVersion,compileSDKVersion and things of your android project? You can find that on build.gradle. — Samitha Nanayakkara, Nov 22 '18 at 13:26
Ok I update my answer the build generated but its not installing in my phone. — Habib, Nov 22 '18 at 13:29
It’s not installing because you are getting this error right? You should provide compatible versions to work an app. — Samitha Nanayakkara, Nov 22 '18 at 13:31
No, I moved from this error and now the build generates successfully but I can't install in my phone. — Habib, Nov 22 '18 at 13:33

I think you have used react-native-keep-awake package in your application.

The error is that you have not linked the package properly. So try these

npm install --save react-native-keep-awake

react-native link react-native-keep-awake

And make sure you have removed the previous versions of the react-native-keep-awake from your app. To do so check the following files and remove the added lines.

android/settings.gradle
android/app/build.gradle
android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java
