eas build android failing

Unable to do eas build -p android when there is an app.config.js file present.

  • Using managed workflow
  • eas-cli/0.55.1 darwin-x64 node-v14.19.0
  • What has been tried?

import { AppRegistry } from “react-native”;
import App from “./App”;
import { name as appName } from “./app.json”;
AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

What’s been determined is that eas build -p android works if there is no app.config.js present, but fails if there is one present.

Using the bare bones app.config.js like below fails.

export default ({ config }) => {
console.log(config.name); // prints ‘My App’
return {
…config,
};
};

Error message is below:

A colleague solved this mystery. Having logging statements in your app.config.js breaks android eas building in expo 45.
