Hi @zukinaru ... did you resolve this issue?
Have just received the exactly the same error after upgrading to 0.56.

I can see the command which failed was (with --debug):

09:37:44.091 [INFO] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle]
   Starting process 'command 'node''.
   Working directory: /Users/nikki/Desktop/ReactNativeUpgrade
   Command: node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle --platform android --dev false --reset-cache --entry-file index.js --bundle-output /Users/nikki/Desktop/ReactNativeUpgrade/android/app/build/intermediates/assets/release/index.android.bundle --assets-dest /Users/nikki/Desktop/ReactNativeUpgrade/android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/release

But much like you, I'm confused as to why the build script is looking for an index.js entry point.

Many thanks for any pointers.
Nikki
