I'm pretty new to RN so my apologies if this is something obvious and/or generic, but it seems specific to react-native-geocoder.

update
when I change the react-native-geocoder project build.gradle to
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 26
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    ndk {
        abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
    }
}

}

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"
}
change compileSdkVersion 25 to 26 and targetSdkVersion 26 let me build release this solve the problem.

Change targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion to 26 not work for me.

Ok, my project is in target SDK 28, with 28 version it works. But in other issue post this fix:

android/build.gradle

At end add:

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
                buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
            }
        }
    }
}

I find The solution Finally ;)))))
((( RN )))
When we get verifyReleaseResources And ':react-native-interactable:compileDebugJavaWithJavac' this message Error in Release Apk Build In Android

just Update build.gradle in Lib Npm

And Upgrade Your LibSource

android {
compileSdkVersion 28 <<=== this line (to Current SDK Project)

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 28   <<=== this line (to Current SDK Project)
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    ndk {
        abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
    }
}

}
