IOS Build Error - prebuild

Expo SDK
1

I am trying to build my app with EAS Build (used expo build previously) and receive the following two prebuild errors. I am still able to get my app to run on the ios simulator, android simulator, and android real device (haven’t checked an ios real device).

[stderr] CommandError: Input is required, but 'npx expo' is in non-interactive mode.
[stderr] Project must have a `android.package` set in the Expo config (app.json or app.config.js).

This is my eas.json

{
  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 2.2.1"
  },
  "build": {
    "development": {
      "developmentClient": true,
      "distribution": "internal"
    },
    "preview": {
      "distribution": "internal"
    },
    "production": {}
  },
  "submit": {
    "production": {}
  }
}

and my app.json

My build issues have been solved after performing the following steps. Not sure if all of them were essential.
1 Updating Command tools for XCODE
with

softwareupdate --install  
softwareupdate -i "Command Line Tools for Xcode-14.0"

running prebuild locally
npx expo prebuild

And third, and probably most importantly adding a .easignore so that my app.json file which is listed in the .gitignore was included in the build process. This is a breaking change when switiching from expo build to eas build.
