Description

Yesterday my project was working fine.But today when I generated the signed apk from android studio, the apk generated successfully, although it is not installing on my mobile.
But it was working on emulator.
Issue is when I run npm run android it is causing error.
Here is the error:
```> Task :app:mergeDexDebug FAILED
