The process for creating an APK for Android using React Native version 0.71.2 is as follows:

1. Set up your development environment: Install Node.js, the React Native command-line interface, and an Android development environment (such as Android Studio).

2. Create your React Native project: Use the React Native command-line interface to create a new project.

3. Configure your project for Android: Configure your project to build and run on Android by editing the app/build.gradle file.

4. Install dependencies: Install any additional dependencies required for your app, using npm or Yarn.

5. Run your app: Use the React Native CLI to start your app and run it on an Android emulator or a physical device.

6. Generate a signed APK: Create a signed APK that you can distribute to users, using the Android Studio Build menu.

7. Test and deploy your app: Test your app to ensure it works correctly, and then deploy it to the Google Play Store or another app store.

Note that this is a general overview of the process, and there may be additional steps or configuration required depending on your specific app and development environment. It's also important to stay up-to-date with the latest React Native release and best practices for Android app development.
