build android app failed on expo-splash-screen

Expo Application Services (EAS)
1

when i build the projeect, i get an error message :

" [stderr] Execution failed for task ‘:expo-splash-screen:compileReleaseKotlin’.".

it seems to be solved on this topic:

fyi/android-071-rc-build-failure.md at main · expo/fyi · GitHub

but i still get the error on this build.
i had try to uninstall expo-splash-screen, and it works, but i’m still wondering why i get this error.

eas-cli version: .3.17.1
“dependencies”: {
“expo”: “^49.0.5”,
“react-native”: “0.72.3”,
“expo-splash-screen”: “‘0.20.5’”
}

I have the same issues doing a eas build --profile development --platform android
as well as in EAS cloud or local I get a problem with android build at expo-splash-screen.
I can’t find any useful in de logs…what is wrong?

Some how something has changed between expo sdk 49 first release when I had to use @latest with create-expo-app because I just did it again with npx create-expo-app --templated, used typescript and made a vanilla project with sdk 49.0.5 and added al my dependencies, and placed al the sources.
Now I works fine!

For me, the build failed while building expo-splash-screen. There’s no hard dependency for me in my project for this library, so I removed it for now. Post removing, the build succeeded.

For anyone this is still affecting, Expo version 49.0.6 solves this
