My android studio log cat crash ....

Yeah, you can see crash logs in Android Studio, BUT based on my experience in React Native there is a high chance that your .apk missed js bundle.

based on your crash log, and the fact that app runs in debug it is very likely that you have bundling problem. Run this command again in order to create a fresh new bundle

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

or

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/

if you don't have index.android.js, and create a new release

can you also provide contents of "index.js" or "index.android.js" and contents of "android/app/src/.../MainApplication.java" too – DNA.h May 26 '19 at 08:08
this link i provide two files.. https://drive.google.com/open?id=12s3tp1oSwW4N9-golbhhMhVkLQRAIDXk – Kazi Rahamatullah May 26 '19 at 08:36
you can see this files @DNA.h – Kazi Rahamatullah May 26 '19 at 08:38
your crash log tells that Notification was not found. and in your package list i cannot see package relatable to Notifications. so i assume you are missing a "react-native link" or "/android/gradlew clean" somewhere. It would be definitely of help if you could attach package.json too – DNA.h May 26 '19 at 09:09
I will find my problem and solve it and also thanks to finding my error @DNA.h – Kazi Rahamatullah May 26 '19 at 09:13
will be happy if i could provide any help – DNA.h May 26 '19 at 09:48
yes thanks for provide many information of signed apk release @DNA.h – Kazi Rahamatullah May 27 '19 at 02:49

I had the same error, change react-native to 0.59.3

run

yarn add react-native@0.59.3

or

npm i --save react-native@0.59.3

I also removed both android/app/build and node_modules/ (To make a fresh build)

Apparently it's a bug associated with version 0.59.8
