Could not read script '/' as it is a directory. Expo Android Build via Expo Managed workflow

Expo Application Services (EAS)
1

I’m building my application and facing issues with the Android Play Store build while the internal Android build works fine with the following command.

Also I’m building via expo managed workflow

eas build --platform android --profile production

I’m getting the following error log.

Running 'gradlew :app:bundleRelease' in /home/expo/workingdir/build/androidDownloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5.1-all.zip10%.20%.30%.40%50%.60%70%.80%.90%.100%

While you wait, try reading the troubleshooting guide:

BTW, it’s 8:30 pm here and I do this in my free time.

Do hou need this?

You shouldn’t need these.

This is deprecated. You should switch to react-native-masked-view/masked-view

Do you need this?

This is either deprecated or removed already. Check the Expo SDK release blog posts.

Sane with these.
