EAS Android build failure

[drbarber]

I am working on getting an android build to run with EAS. I currently can run the pipeline with iOS with no errors but with android I am getting this error. I have tried setting the NDK version manually but am still getting the same error..

Do you build on OSX ? Check that the Security and Confidentiality in System Preferences requested the access to the files (you have many files to allow one by one.... after all is allowed it can build ;)

To EAS build for Android, I had to initiate and build everything from Linux, I think because the runner uses Linux. It never worked from my Windows machine despite my best efforts. It would always throw the same cryptic error message of

[stderr] Execution failed for task ':unityLibrary:BuildIl2CppTask'.

[stderr] > A problem occurred starting process 'command '/home/expo/workingdir/build/todo-list/unity/builds/android/unityLibrary/src/main/Il2CppOutputProject/IL2CPP/build/deploy/il2cpp''

If anyone knows how to EAS build for Android from a Windows machine without WSL, please let me know.

To get EAS build working, I followed these steps on my Windows machine

1. Install WSL2
2. Install the Gnome Text Editor
3. Install and open a Browser, making it the default
4. Download, open, and login to the Unity Hub using the Browser
5. Download Unity version
6. Download Android Studio and unzip to /usr/local
7. Install NDK and SDK API Level
   1. Simulator doesn't require setup because it's not needed
8. Create an environment variable file and make sure it runs on WSL startup
   1. sudo nano ~/.bash_profile
   2. Include the following variables with the proper username

      export ANDROID_HOME=/home/<username>/Android/Sdk
      export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/<username>/Android/Sdk/ndk/21.3.6528147
      export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/android-studio/jbr

   3. source ~/.bash_profile
9. Install the project

   git clone <githubProjectURL>

10. Setup the dependencies
    1. Install Node.js
    2. Run npm install in the proper directory
11. Open the project in Unity
12. Select Platform as Android > Switch Platform
    1. Export Project
    2. Export to unity/builds/android
13. EAS build the project
    1. Server build: eas build --platform android
    2. Local build: eas build --platform android --local
