Error while building Android App Bundle

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 43
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android
  3. Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on.

After solving more build errors I came across this one that seems unsolvable:

Thank you in advance!

Hey @maicanvlad7, how are you building your AAB?

3

i have the same problem:
i build with expo build:android, then i select app-bundle.

if i run “expo doctor”, it tells me that everything is ok.

4

I am running expo version 43, can this be the problem ?

As @mixradu said, running expo doctor shows everything is fine…

This is such a draw-back for the project I am working on because everything was fine until now :slight_smile:

Please help! I can pay :D.

I tried to make only APK.
tried to uninstall a lot of packages.

try reverting to the last commit that you built at successfully. then diff the last working commit from your latest commit that is failing. try building on different commits between them until you narrow down the root cause and let us know.

alternatively, you can switch to our new build service that is easier to debug. EAS Build - Expo Documentation

Do either of you have an & sign in your app.json? e.g. in your app name?

Are you both building with expo build:android?

i have one “&” in the android.config.googleMaps.apiKey.
I will try to build without the api key to see if it works

it’s the first build.

Is it normal for the Google Maps API key to contain an ampersand? I thought they were alphanumeric.
