EAS - Android build fails due to a difference between minCompileSdk and compileSdkVersion

Expo Application Services (EAS)
1
  • Managed Workflow
  • EAS CLI version: eas-cli/0.34.0
  • Expo SDK: 42.0.0

Just recently switched to EAS from Classic - iOS builds are fine, however Android fails due to below error:

[stderr] Execution failed for task ‘:app:checkReleaseAarMetadata’. [stderr] > A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction [stderr] > The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a [stderr] dependency’s AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties) [stderr] is greater than this module’s compileSdkVersion (android-30).

Appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

can you link to the build page and provide a minimal reproducible example or more detailed information about your project?

“production”: {}
},
“submit”: {

}
}

Is there anyway in Expo Managed workflow to match minCompileSdk and compileSdkVersion to the same version for Android without ejecting the project files?

i’d suggest running expo prebuild -p android and expo run:android --variant release locally to debug the issue, it’s likely caused by some library that you are using, and then when you have a solution you can cleanup the files and go back to managed
