Expo Build Fails For Production

Expo Application Services (EAS)
1

Hi,

I’m trying to build the aab for android on production, but keeps getting the error “ssets_images_registration.png: AAPT: error: file failed to compile.” when running : eas build -p android --profile production

Everything works fine when same is built for development.
I’ve already tried to change all the image from jpg to png and also the image sizes, but still facing same issues.

Appreciate if if someone can help.

Below is the error:
[stderr]

Hi @tushal_paywise

As far as I know this means that you have a file called assets/images/registration.png that is in fact not a PNG.

If you’re on macOS or Linux you can try running file assets/images/registration.png to see what type it is. If it’s actually a JPEG then you can rename it and fix the name in your code too.
