Keytool not installed locally to generate keystore on 'expo credentials:manager -p android' command.

This is the error I get when trying to create a keystore for my android standalone app.

Failed to generate Android Keystore, it will be generated on Expo servers during the build
Error: spawn keytool ENOENT

I can get keytool working on CMD terminal but for some reason it keeps saying it’s not installed locally.

I deleted some of the error code because I wasn’t sure if there was sensitive information in there.
Thanks in advance who can help me with this.

eas build falls back to a hosted keytool if it’s not available locally, so you could try that approach instead. we’re moving away from expo build anyhow: expo build’s Final Year. The Classic Build service will support… | by James Ide | Exposition

Yeah I saw where it creates one for you through eas build but is that fingerprint the same one I give to google credentials here in this photo to use with authentication?

That’s what I’m trying to ultimately do.
