react-native run-android no longer supports --configuration=release

See original GitHub issue

Description

Documentation for Testing the release build of your app for Android seems to be outdated.

Concretely, the flag --configuration does not exist anymore.

Reproduction

Running react-native run-android --configuration=release gives me:

  error: unknown option `--configuration'

Solution

Replacing configuration flag with variant flag works.

react-native run-android --variant=release

Additional Information

React Native version: 0.42.0
Platform: Android
Operating System: MacOS 10.12.3

@laalaguer I fixed this in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/12699 but it seems that the doc has not been released yet. Let’s close this when the updated version is released.
