The problem is that the build is looking for the debug keystore and cannot find it.
Keystore file /home/tawsif/react native/react-native-redux/android/app/debug.keystore not found for signing config 'debug'.
There's an issue with the same problem in React Native GitHub. According to the page, you can solve it by creating a debug keystore. Quote from the thread:
You can generate the debug keystore by running this command in the
android/app/ directory: keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore
-storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
Link to the issue: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25629
Based on @rabbit87's answer the solution is running the following command inside
ProjectName/Andoid/app directory solves the problem
keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
Just download from official template https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/react-native/master/template/android/app/debug.keystore
Copy debug.keystore into your android/app/.
Ex:
mv ~/Downloads/debug.keystore /Users/lazaro/apps/myapp/android/app/

I was having same error, It was solved by this https://coderwall.com/p/r09hoq/android-generate-release-debug-keystores

cd ./android/app/
