EAS build failure for Android only - Execution failed for task ':expo-updates:createReleaseExpoManifest'

  • Managed workflow
  • eas-cli/2.1.0 darwin-x64 node-v14.19.0

I have started getting android build failure (have been able to build fine until today) at “Run gradlew” step.
iOS build has been working fine.

I have ran expo doctor and I can also build locally without issues with, eas build --platform android --local

I checked out another possibly similar post at,

But it doesn’t appear to be a bundle size issue.

npx react-native-bundle-visualizer --platform android returns 12.03 MB.

Here is the link to the project,

I’m also getting this error now, did you manage to fix it?
