I recently came across Github Actions. It's a powerful tool. So, i thought of giving it a try. So, I used it to automate the build of react native android apk.
I created a GitHub repository for this project.
Check it out here

Build will be triggered as soon as the commit is pushed to the master branch.
After that, builded apk can be found under the artifact section
