Getting error on gradlew :app:assembleRelease on non-expo app

Expo Application Services (EAS)

Getting weird error. What does it mean? I don’t need eas-build.gradle - can I get rid of it?

If I put ./gradlew clean :app:assembleRelease as below in package.json, It BUILDs but then fails later with that error. Again, I don’t want eas-build.gradle even in the solution. And why is it trying to fix signingConfigs - I don’t need that either. And it is messing with my build.gradle.

"eas-build-post-install": "cd android && ./gradlew clean :app:assembleRelease",

Any advice?

We’re going to need a bit more context about the project. How are you trying to build it? How was the project initialized? Etc.

Sure.

  1. The project is a normal react-native init project. It has directories like ./android and ./ios.
  2. I build the project for android already using ./gradlew :app:assembleRelease and I get an APK and upload it to Google play store.
  3. Unfortunately this no longer works with your service. I get when the eas.json runs.

Running ‘./gradlew :app:assembleRelease’

  1. Here is my eas.json:
{
  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 0.48.2",
    "requireCommit": true
  },
  "build": {
    "production": {
      "yarn": "1.22.18",
      "node": "16.14.0",
      "distribution": "store",
      "android": {
        "image": "latest",
        "buildType": "app-bundle"
      },
      "ios": {
        "image": "latest",
        "cocoapods": "1.11.2",
        "buildConfiguration": "Release"
      }
    },
    "development": {
      "extends": "production",
      "distribution": "internal",
      "android": {
        "image": "latest",
        "gradleCommand": ":app:assembleRelease",
        "buildType": "apk"
      },
      "ios": {
        "image": "latest",
        "cocoapods": "1.11.2",
        "buildConfiguration": "Debug"
      }
    },
    "preview": {
      "extends": "production",
      "distribution": "internal"
    }
  },
  "submit": {
    "production": {}
  }
}
  1. Just wanting to do a eas build. But it fails. Here is my command:

eas build --profile production --platform android --non-interactive

I tried --local and that make it worse since the SECRETs are not there unless I run it without --local.

  1. I literally was able to get a build to work by doing the following:

“eas-build-post-install”: “cd android && ./gradlew :app:assembleRelease”,
Then uploading the APK to S3 manually to my personal S3, and then letting the rest of it fail.

  1. It appears your system is manipulating my build.gradle. Why? You are adding android/app/eas-build.gradle - and I literally don’t need it. I just need the command to run, and afterward you can copy the apk and store it. Then on eas submit take it and send it over to Google play store.

I think it has to do with the Gradle version. I am running 7.2. What is supported?

I also am running classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4’

OK. The example “expo init” bare has Gradle 6.9 and classpath(“com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0”). I want Gradle 7.2 and classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4’. How do we fix this? Can EAS come out with support for that?

This is fixed!
