Hermes Issue with expo-cli? JavaScript engine configuration is inconsistent between app.json and Android native project

I am trying to expo publish my Android app and am getting the following error:

Finished building JavaScript bundle in 45823ms.
JavaScript engine configuration is inconsistent between app.json and Android native project.
In app.json: Hermes is not enabled
In Android native project: Hermes is enabled
Please check the following files for inconsistencies:

There are few mentions of this error online, but from what I could tell it had to do with expo-cli being out of date or something unknown with hermes. My version of expo-cli=4.9 is the correct version for my expo=42 app and my hermes-engine=0.5.1 is the correct version for react-native=0.63.4. Any ideas on what this could be stemming from? You can see two other posts of people having this issue here and here
