Where is android studio building my .apk file?

Question

I've been rebuilding my project from the ground up, so there's been a lot of problems with it. At the moment, everything's working great, except that when I try to run the app, I get the message 'Local path doesn't exist.', where the local path is pointing at the path: AndroidStudioProjects\MyProject\MyProject..\build\production\MyProject.apk, and true enough, there is no .apk file at that location, or indeed anywhere else in the project filesystem.

However, I can build the app with no problems, and running gradlew packageDebug gives me the message 'build successful', so .apks should be being generated. My question is, where are they going, or if they aren't being generated, why not?

Where is the build path of each module set? I'm somewhat confused because the Project Structure->Facets->Android->Compiler settings, Project Structure->Modules->Paths->Compiler Output, build.gradle, and MyProject.iml all seem to have something to do with the build path, but I don't quite understand how they relate

edit: I know where it should be, but it's not there so I want to know how to change the build path

edit 2: For some reason running gradlew build does create .apks, but not building or running from inside the program

edit 3: Here's my gradlew build output, note that it does build successfully:

Creating properties on demand (a.k.a. dynamic properties) has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0. Please read http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.plugins.ExtraPropertiesExtension.html for information on the replacement for dynamic properties.

Answer 1

Mine application's apk was at this location

C:\Users\haseeb_mir\AndroidStudioProjects\MyTestApp\app\build\outputs\apk\debug

Answer 2

I was having the issue finding my debug apk. Android Studio 0.8.6 did not show the apk or even the output folder at project/project/build/. When I checked the same path project/project/build/ from windows folder explorer, I found the "output" folder there and the debug apk inside it.

Answer 3

For Android Studio:

If you haven't built the APK at least once, you might not find the /Outputs/APK folder. Go to Build in Android Studio and one of the last three options is Build APK, select that. It will then create that folder and you will find your APK file there.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

You should Build your app instead of debugging process. Just follow this:

Build -> Build Bundles/APK(s) -> Build APK(s)

Answer 6

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.
