I’ve ejected the app… and this happens when I try and build in Android Studio, I did not update any Gradle

Can you share your Android Studio version and expo version details?

Hi,

 "expo": "31.0.5",
 "expokit": "31.0.2",

Android Studio 3.2.1

I will suggest you for updating expo version from 31 to 32, remove android folder before update, after new install run eject, I hope It will work.

I had same issue. with same configuration
