expo run:android error

Expo Development Tools
1

I have a managed expo project with expo-dev-client. I got the following error when running expo run:android. Could anyone points me to the right direction? I don’t know which part of error is causing the development build to fail…

Did you figure this out?

If you have a managed setup with dev client, you’ll generally want to run npx expo start --dev-client. expo run:android is for building and running a local build of your android version. It requires that the Android SDK and build tools be setup on your system. This can be done for a dev client, but usually is not necessary. You’ll generally want to follow the “With EAS” instructions here.

Ah ok, so run an eas build, then install it on the emulator and run dev-client?
