BUILD FAILED in 5m 30s
Command gradlew.bat failed with exit code 1

Note: Normal build just works fine (with tns run android command)

To Reproduce
Just build the project with the following command:

tns build android --release --key-store-path my-release-key.keystore --key-store-password YOUR_PASS --key-store-alias YOUR_NAME --key-store-alias-password YOUR_PASS --bundle --env.uglify --env.aot

Expected behavior
No error.

I solved the issue by adding the following to the gradle file (platforms/android/app/build.gradle):

android {
    // Add this
    lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds false
    }
    ...
