• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

  Could not find property 'MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD' on SigningConfig_Decorated{name=release, storeFile=/home/carlos/react-native/HackerNews-React-Native/android/app/hn-reader_android.keystore, storePassword=null, keyAlias=null, keyPassword=null, storeType=/home/carlos/react-native/HackerNews-React-Native/android/app/hn-reader_android.keystore}.

You have to set it to a specific string, it's something like

keyPassword '12345678'

I think the author may forget to write it down.

I commented that section out in build.gradle (HackerNews-React-Native\android\app\build.gradle)

Basically, they are intentionally removing their keys from the versions pushed to github.

signingConfigs {
    release {
        /*
        storeFile file('hn-reader_android.keystore')
        storePassword MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD
        keyAlias MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS
        keyPassword MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD
    */
    }
}
