bob build not generated .aar file

[iqfar12]

Hello,
i would like build my existing react native project to aar using bob builder,
i already follow the documentation for manual installation by adding react-native-builder-bob script:

react-native-builder-bob": {
  "source": "src",
  "output": "lib",
  "targets": [
    ["aar", {"reverseJetify": true}],
    ["commonjs", {"copyFlow": true}],
    "module",
    "typescript",
  ]
}
"scripts": {
  "prepare": "bob build"
}
"main": "lib/commonjs/index.js",
"module": "lib/module/index.js",
"react-native": "src/index.ts",
"types": "lib/typescript/index.d.ts",
"files": [
  "lib/",
  "src/"
]

and run

yarn bob build

and there's error

error: package com.facebook.react.bridge does not exist

and finally show up final error:

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, copyfile 'android/build/outputs/aar/android.aar' -> '/Users/iqfar-infinitec/Desktop/qishe-mobile/lib/aar/android.aar'] {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'copyfile',
  path: 'android/build/outputs/aar/android.aar',
  dest: '/Users/iqfar-infinitec/Desktop/qishe-mobile/lib/aar/android.aar'
}
error Command failed with exit code 1.

but in my android/app/build/output show up release and debug apk file instead of aar file

try to change options in package.json:

"react-native-builder-bob": {
    "source": "src",
    "output": "lib",
    "targets": [
      "commonjs",
      "module",
      // "aar" <- REPLACE THIS ...
      ["aar", { "androidBundleName":  "android-release.aar" }] // <- ... BY THIS ...
      // OR WHATEVER .aar GENERATED FILE YOU FIND IN: android/build/outputs/aar
    ]
  },
