Thank you though I tried all those solutions, nothing worked. The app builds with expo build with no errors. I don’t know what exactly is wrong, I tried all solutions I could find. May be I would create a new app n try to build it and see if it works

Hi @feisal

Unfortunately it’s hard to tell what’s going wrong without more information. Something weird is going on.

It looks like you’re trying to do an Android build. Is that right?

But the output has a lot of references to “@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios”

Do you have an android directory in your app?

Could you please run the following inside your project and paste the output here?

npx expo-env-info

Please also run expo-cli doctor and see if it complains about anything.

Could you also provide the dependencies and devDependencies from package.json?

@feisal

Yes, that would also be a useful test.

[feisal]

Yeah I am trying to build an android app. The test app worked am guessing the problem is my dependency . I would do all that u suggested and share more information here. I uninstalled react native community cli and the build became successful.
