May be android studio has problem. You can create new android project and copy all this code to new project. Wish that works — Vinay Rathod, Jul 05 '18 at 04:59

This happens if your android project did not synced successfully. You need to close your project and import it again, wait for notices for a possible needed update ie: SDK, sdk tools etc. and continue till it says synced successfully. After that the menu for generate signed apk will now be available.

Probably your project is not an Android Application project but just an Android Library project.

Inside your build.gradle under your app/ directory, there have to be a line as below.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Double check this.

this one is the "top level" build script, you need to check the one inside "module level". – shizhen Jul 05 '18 at 07:07
From your "top level" build.gradle, you are missing google() repo which should be put above jcenter(). – shizhen Jul 05 '18 at 07:08
Yes there is apply plugin: 'com.android.application' – cas2018 Jul 05 '18 at 07:45
Your project need to sync success firstly. From your screenshot, it synced failed. Check your sync error message details and fix that first. – shizhen Jul 05 '18 at 07:52

I believe, it happens because of configuration. Check from the android studio console.

Try to refresh your project, import the libraries again and see whether the build option is there or not. Also check your project sdk.

Open Build.gradle and check if lintOptions is True then change to False if not generate then add plugin

lintOptions {
       checkReleaseBuilds false
   }

//At the end of Build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
