Hello everyone, i’m facing this error when Building with EAS and Expo SDK 44, it looks like the ImagePicker module is the cause:

In your post, please share:

Whether you are bare or managed workflow: managed
Your eas-cli version: eas-cli/0.41.1 win32-x64 node-v16.13.1
What you have tried so far:

I’ve added the plugin in app.json as documentation explains, also i have sentry-expo added.
And installed package:

expo install expo-image-picker

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-image-picker",
        {
          "photosPermission": "The app accesses your photos to let you share them with your friends."
        }
      ],
      "sentry-expo"
    ]
  }
}

Using app configurations: (from EAS Build Website)

includes

 "plugins": [
    "expo-image-picker",
    "sentry-expo"
  ],

But error persists.

laneboyandrew · February 4, 2022, 12:55am

I have the same error have you found a solution?

notbrent · February 4, 2022, 1:06am

can you share a reproducible example app on github? i am unable to reproduce this.

laneboyandrew · February 4, 2022, 1:11am

Yes I can give you access to the private repository on github but need your github username

notbrent · February 4, 2022, 1:12am

i’d prefer to see a minimal reproducible example, you can see how to create one here: How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example - Help Center - Stack Overflow

laneboyandrew · February 4, 2022, 2:19am

I was able to reproduce error. Have to say that when I created new App and added only library expo-image-picker it worked fine and build passed well but, when I copied package.json file from my main project I got exactly the same error: Execution failed for task ':expo-image-picker:compileReleaseKotlin'.

[stderr] `e: /root/workingdir/build/node_modules/expo-image-picker/android/src/main/java/expo/modules/imagepicker/ImagePickerModule.kt: (25, 36): Unresolved reference: ifNull

Please have a look: GitHub - andrey-grach/ErrorReproduced

It must be a module/package conflict, we still no fixed it, we rolled back to a previous SDK version.

laneboyandrew · February 4, 2022, 2:57am

I downgraded to "expo-image-picker": "~11.0.3" after that problem has gone but appeared the same one with expo-linear-gradient: Execution failed for task ':expo-linear-gradient:compileReleaseKotlin'. I also downgraded that library from ~11.0.0 to 10.0.3 and problem disappeared and after that I get another one with expo-media-library so I downgraded that package from 14.0.1 to 13.0.3 and now I have this problem: Execution failed for task ':expo:compileReleaseKotlin'

And actually this is my first attempt to build via EAS, so I don’t know if I roll back to previous SDK it will help or not, but thanks for reply.

hrgdev · February 9, 2022, 10:17pm

Not solved yet. I still having the issue. Not able to build by eas. Also I am not getting any error while compilation. -

notbrent · February 9, 2022, 10:17pm

can you please share a minimal reproducible example? How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example - Help Center - Stack Overflow

trivudev · February 10, 2022, 12:39am

You already have a minimal reproduction repo.

notbrent · February 10, 2022, 12:41am

i do not. i have a repository with about 80 direct dependencies, that is pretty far from minimal ErrorReproduced/package.json at master · andrey-grach/ErrorReproduced · GitHub

trivudev · February 10, 2022, 12:50am

You sounds lazy. Just remove them to test. We Don’t know which package is the problem since the error only says things about ‘image-picker’. I know you have work, we have work, you and we want a better Expo, (or not?).

That’s a no custom logic repo, it’s enough for me, since a real world project is not only expo packages.

notbrent · February 10, 2022, 12:58am

Hi there! Calling somebody trying to help out “lazy” is not acceptable. As I’m sure you appreciate as a software developer, table stakes for getting help with a possible bug are that someone provide a minimal reproducible example. This is the case on StackOverflow as much as it is here (How do I ask a good question? - Help Center - Stack Overflow). Feel free to fix the issue on your own if you are unable to provide what we need to help you out.

trivudev · February 10, 2022, 1:19am

That’s what a lazy says (joke).

Seriously, I just skip. But Thanks to try.

laneboyandrew · February 10, 2022, 8:22pm

Hi! If it was not what you have been waiting for you could at least tell me that. It would be better than just silence. As I mentioned above problem appeared when I added all the packages from the old project, what should I do now? Should I try to remove packages one by one until build would work and then tell you what package it was? I really want to solve this problem but I don’t know what is the next step?

notbrent · February 10, 2022, 11:01pm

could you try finding the minimum set of packages that reproduces the issue? we’re happy to investigate further if we have that

wodin · February 10, 2022, 11:45pm

@notbrent

Here you go:

{
  "name": "ifNull-crash",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",
    "android": "expo start --android",
    "ios": "expo start --ios",
    "web": "expo start --web",
    "eject": "expo eject"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "expo": "^44.0.0",
    "react": "17.0.1",
    "react-dom": "17.0.1",
    "react-native": "0.64.3",
    "expo-images-picker": "^2.2.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.12.9"
  },
  "private": true
}

Note: That’s not expo-image-picker

EDIT: The crash is different depending on whether you have just expo-images-picker installed, or in addition you have expo-linear-gradient or expo-image-picker.

notbrent · February 11, 2022, 12:32am

thanks! i don’t know what expo-images-picker is it is not something that we maintain. it looks like it depends on old versions of expo-image-manipulator and expo-media-library. so @laneboyandrew you should remove expo-images-picker from your package.json and just leave expo-image-picker.

@wodin - i’ve tried installing expo-linear-gradient and expo-image-picker in a new project and it builds successfully, can you elaborate on that last point?

edit: i created an issue on expo-images-picker repo with a suggestion Expo module dependencies should be devDependencies · Issue #50 · natysoz/expo-images-picker · GitHub
