Unable to build Android using "expo run:android"

[Kalph13]

All recent projects created by "create-react-native-app" are not working with the command "expo run:android".

Old projects that I created before (just 1-2 weeks ago) work well with the same command.

Is there any recent updates or changes related to this?

Error messages are attached below. This project is a new, bare "create-react-native-app" project that I haven't made any change.

I think I found some pattern:

npx create-react-native-app → "expo run:android" doesn't work

npx create-react-native-app --use-npm → "expo run:android" works well

Perhaps it's sort of a problem between "create-react-native-app" and Yarn

How can we fix this for existing RN project?
