Eas build failed with ':expo-splash-screen:compileReleaseKotlin'

Expo Application Services (EAS)

Hello everyone,
I needed to test my app on an actual device so I run eas build and run into this error saying something regarding splash screen which I’m not even sure I’m using.

Here you may have a look at the dependencies installed
(AT = at the rate, can’t use the symbol it says new users can’t tag more than 2 users)

“dependencies”: {
“ATreact-native-async-storage/async-storage”: “^1.19.1”,
“ATreact-native-community/masked-view”: “^0.1.11”,
“ATreact-navigation/native”: “^6.1.7”,
“ATreact-navigation/native-stack”: “^6.9.13”,
“axios”: “^1.4.0”,
“expo”: “~49.0.5”,

“firebase”: “^10.1.0”,
“native-notify”: “^3.0.6”,

“react”: “18.2.0”,
“react-native”: “0.72.3”,

“react-native-screens”: “^3.23.0”,
“tailwindcss”: “^3.3.2”,
“expo-splash-screen”: “~0.20.5”
},

I tried following what was said in https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/android-071-rc-build-failure.md
So I did eas prebuild then I went to build.gradle and added def REACT_NATIVE_VERSION before allprojects{} and inside allprojects{} I added configurations.all as per what the link said.
I run eas build afterwards and still got the same error, meanwhile all those failures are being deducted from the max 30 builds for free accounts (might wanna deduct only when a build is successful)

Any idea on how to fix this would be of great help,
Thanks in advance

That was happening to me a few weeks ago and some random guy told me to upgrade my expo library to fix the bug and it worked for me. So now I have expo ^49.0.6
