The app runs correctly with expo start, but after building the APK, it gets stuck on the launch screen.

[bielb2]

Description

The application functions flawlessly during the development phase when launched with the command expo start. However, an issue arises after the APK is built and installed on a device. The app appears to become unresponsive, getting stuck on the launch screen without progressing further. This behavior is not observed when running the app through the development server. The discrepancy between the behavior during development and the behavior of the APK suggests there might be an underlying problem that arises specifically when building the Android package.

Error: Problem validating fields in app.json. Learn more.
 • Field: ios/bundleIdentifier - 'ios/bundleIdentifier' should be a iOS bundle identifier notation unique name for your app. For example, `host.exp.expo`, where `exp.host` is our domain and `expo` is our app name..

The package "expo-modules-core" should not be installed directly in your project. It is a dependency of other Expo packages, which will install it automatically as needed.
The package "expo-modules-autolinking" should not be installed directly in your project. It is a dependency of other Expo packages, which will install it automatically as needed.
The package  "@types/react-native" should not be installed directly in your project, as types are included with the "react-native" package.

This project has native project folders but is also configured to use Prebuild. EAS Build will not sync your native configuration if the ios or android folders are present. Add these folders to your .gitignore file if you intend to use prebuild (aka "managed" workflow).
