App builds for Web browser, but not Android due to SVG (despite project not using SVG)

Expo Development Tools

Hi,

My app builds and runs in the web browser, but the build fails for my Android mobile device. I’m not using or importing SVG anywhere in my project, and yet I get this error in the Metro Builder:

Unable to resolve “./elements/ForeignObject” from “node_modules\react-native-svg\src\ReactNativeSVG.ts”
Building JavaScript bundle: error

expo diagnostics:

Fixed inexplicably with expo-cli update

there surely is an explanation for why, i could let you know if i had more info. i suspect the change may be related you having sourceExts or assetExts customized in app.json. then this commit would be related: Always include default extensions in sourceExts for Metro when starte… · expo/expo-cli@e640223 · GitHub - it prevents users from accidentally clobbering default extensions.
