I recently updated to expo SDK 44 and now I’m getting below error when trying to build for android using eas-cli.

Expo Application Services (EAS)
1

EAS build using eas build -p android fails due to a gradle error and it seems to be related to @react-native-async-storage/async-storage and com.facebook.react.module.annotations. Building using expo build works fine though. Any ideas?

Hi @haravanapps

I think your @react-native-async-storage/async-storage is too new.

What does expo doctor give you? I suspect you’ll get something like the following:

% expo doctor
Some dependencies are incompatible with the installed expo package version:
 - @react-native-async-storage/async-storage - expected version: ~1.15.0 - actual version installed: 1.16.1
Your project may not work correctly until you install the correct versions of the packages.
To install the correct versions of these packages, please run: expo doctor --fix-dependencies,
or install individual packages by running expo install [package-name ...]

Hi @wodin
Thank for support
i try expo install and downgrade version “@react-native-async-storage/async-storage”: “~1.15.0”,
and run expo doctor, say : :tada: Didn’t find any issues with the project!
but not working,
any solution for me ?

Please post the dependencies section of your package.json

I created a new blank app and added your dependencies. I can confirm that expo doctor is happy.
I do notice that you have the following:

whereas a newly created Expo SDK 44 app uses:

"react-native": "0.64.3",

I think those should be basically the same, but maybe switch to the official 0.64.3 instead of Expo’s version of React Native. I can’t remember where I saw it, but Expo is apparently planning to use the official React Native package going forward instead of a customised version.

But regardless of that, I was able to build the app with your dependencies as-is. So I’m not sure what’s going wrong when you try it.

Can you try creating a new app, installing all of those dependencies and then see if you can build it?

hi @wodin
thank for quick res
i will try, and get back to you.

9

hi @wodin
i try to use "react-native": "0.64.3",
but get same error
any solution for me, thanks !

10

Did you try with a newly created app? i.e. just expo init new-app -t blank and then replace the package.json with the one from your real app. Does it build?

11

hi @wodin
it work correctly with blank project, so weird !

hmm, let me check with my project again.
Thanks for support

12

hi @wodin
i solve it by change "expo": "^44.0.0" to "expo": "~44.0.0"
thank a lot for support

13

I’m glad you got it working :slight_smile:

I don’t understand why that change would have fixed it, because as far as I know Expo never releases a version of the expo package where the middle part of the version number is anything other than 0. So ^44.0.0 and ~44.0.0 should be the same, unless I’m missing something.

Maybe there was something wrong with your node_modules which was somehow fixed by you changing the version number and rerunning yarn/npm. If that is what happened then you could probably have fixed it by removing node_modules and reinstalling your dependencies.

Anyway, glad it’s working now :slight_smile:
