Describe the bug
When I want to build my app with production build and signing process, I get the following errors:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

BUILD FAILED in 5m 30s
Command gradlew.bat failed with exit code 1

Note: Normal build just works fine (with tns run android command)

To Reproduce
Just build the project with the following command:

tns build android --release --key-store-path my-release-key.keystore --key-store-password YOUR_PASS --key-store-alias YOUR_NAME --key-store-alias-password YOUR_PASS --bundle --env.uglify --env.aot

Expected behavior
No error.

Start by reproducing the release command with the reported NativeScript versions and inspect the Android build path for the :app:lintVitalRelease task and its lintClassPath dependencies. Compare the failing production build with the working tns run android build; done means the signed release build completes without the missing lint artifacts error.
