Build fails when using EAS but expo build works fine

Hi all,

So I’ve just realised my build fails when publishing to the app store and realised the command I was using prior is superseded by EAS. So I migrated my CI/CD pipeline to use EAS and I’ve realised it keeps failing on the gradlew step.

Any ideas?

I’m getting the exact same error in the EAS build for android.

I’m on sdk 42. We’re using react-native-reanimated so I tried pinning the version as suggested at the links below to version 2.2.3 with no success:

Is there a way to see which version gradle is using? I don’t see it in the logs.

I have the same problem. I did not change my package.json and the build for android just started to fail.
I’m on SDK v42 right now. Will a newer version work?

Supposedly newer versions of the SDK don’t have this issue. We’re going upgrade from 42 to hopefully 44 next week and see if it fixes the issues.

I ended up creating a new project and installing all my packages one by one (third party) and even the expo ones I required. Then once the build worked I replaced my dependencies in package.json with the new one that worked and it’s been fine since. I believe it was a versioning issue and judging from your comment I think that confirms it.

All good now though!

@owen_a that’s great to hear. Can you share your package.json dependencies and devDependencies to see what versions worked for you? We’re in the process of doing our upgrade today. Thanks!
