Build error on android after upgrading to expo 45

I just upgraded my app from expo 44 to 45 and getting this error on android:

Build file '/Users/lm/Projects/xxx/node_modules/expo/android/build.gradle' line: 39

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi @levani

Could you post your dependencies? Also, is this a managed or bare app?

@wodin hey,

It’s bare app.

  },

Do you need this? Maybe try uninstalling it.

Also, I see you have expo-cli and eas-cli as devDependencies. I think try removing those too (rather install them globally).

Didn’t have that originally. Just tested to see if it would help.

Removed it and also expo-cli and eas-cli but same issue…

OK, well at least it seems to have improved the situation a bit:

Before removing those dependencies I got this:

% expo doctor
✔ Found all copies of expo-modules-autolinking
Expected package expo-modules-autolinking@~0.8.1
Found invalid:
  expo-modules-autolinking@0.7.1
  expo-modules-autolinking@0.5.5
  (for more info, run: npm why expo-modules-autolinking)
✔ Found all copies of @expo/config-plugins
Expected package @expo/config-plugins@^4.1.0
Found invalid:
  @expo/config-plugins@4.0.18
  (for more info, run: npm why @expo/config-plugins)
✔ Found all copies of @expo/prebuild-config
Expected package @expo/prebuild-config@^4.0.0
Found invalid:
  @expo/prebuild-config@3.1.6
  (for more info, run: npm why @expo/prebuild-config)

Afterwards I get this:

% expo doctor
✔ Found all copies of expo-modules-autolinking
Expected package expo-modules-autolinking@~0.8.1
Found invalid:
  expo-modules-autolinking@0.7.1
  (for more info, run: npm why expo-modules-autolinking)
✔ Found all copies of @expo/config-plugins
  All copies of @expo/config-plugins satisfy ^4.1.0
✔ Found all copies of @expo/prebuild-config
  All copies of @expo/prebuild-config satisfy ^4.0.0

I haven’t yet figured out why there’s an issue with expo-modules-autolinking, but it seems like fixing that might solve your problem.

I tried to run expo doctor (after removing dependencies) in my project but it could not find any issues.

Could be you have a slightly out of date version of expo-cli. Mine’s 5.4.10. But maybe not. It seems expo upgrade and/or expo doctor are still not perfect.

After removing yarn.lock and node_modules and re-running yarn, expo doctor is now happy:

% expo doctor
✔ Found all copies of expo-modules-autolinking
  All copies of expo-modules-autolinking satisfy ~0.8.1
✔ Found all copies of @expo/config-plugins
  All copies of @expo/config-plugins satisfy ^4.1.0
✔ Found all copies of @expo/prebuild-config
  All copies of @expo/prebuild-config satisfy ^4.0.0

🎉 Didn't find any issues with the project!

Unfortunately there’s still a build error. But not the same one you got:

Mine is 5.4.10 as well.

Finally I managed to fix this. All I had to do was to run npx install-expo-modules@latest command.
