Hi everyone, I’m trying to build for android for the first time my complete app with EAS (I’ve succesfully built in the past some small apps with expo build when I was learning React Native), but it keeps failing. I am not using expo build in this project, I am using EAS.
I am using the managed workflow and my eas.json file is this:
{
"cli": {
"version": ">= 3.3.2"
},
"build": {
"development": {
"developmentClient": true,
"distribution": "internal"
},
"preview": {
"android": {
"buildType": "apk"
},
"distribution": "internal"
},
"production": {}
},
"submit": {
"production": {}
}
}
After launching eas build -p android --profile preview my build fails with two errors:
[stderr] FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.
[stderr] 1: Task failed with an exception.
[stderr] -----------
[stderr] * What went wrong:
[stderr] Execution failed for task ':app:mergeReleaseResources'.

Searching in forum and online I’ve found some similar topics, but the solutions in these don’t apply in my case. I’ve made sure that all the images in the assets folder are with the correct extension by checking them with the file command. All my icon images are .png and the splash screen is a .jpeg.
Some answers says to delete some folders under the android directory, but I’ve never ejected so there isn’t any android directory.
I’ve even tried to create a new project from scratch and paste there all my code, but the problem remains.
Any help is very much appreciated, thanks.
