No "apk" folder generated inside the "Build" folder when building an APK

Question

I am using Android Studio v 0.5.7. The problem is that, in the "Bin" folder my apk file is there, but it is not built automatically. That is, it shows my older APK.

When I searched regarding this issue I found that, in the "Build" folder an "apk" folder is generated and it shows the updated apk file. But I have no "apk" folder inside the "Build" folder.

So, how can I get my latest apk file in Android Studio?

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73370 has the additional details There is a 'gradle tasks ' window - just like the editor area, project area, gradle console , similarly to the right side of android studio - there are commander, Maven Projects and gradle tasks -

once you open gradle tasks window, you will find the assemblerelease task - Run it and you will find the apk generated in \mobile\build\outputs\apk or \wear\build\outputs\apk etc
