Expo 51 android build failure

[shajumohamed]

Hi ,

did anyone use the package in an expo 51 project ?

The eas android build fails with the below error as soon as adding the package as a dependency in package.json (without using it anywhere).

Running 'gradlew :app:assembleDebug' in /home/expo/workingdir/build/greenport/android
Welcome to Gradle 8.6!
Here are the highlights of this release:
- Configurable encryption key for configuration cache
 - Build init improvements
 - Build authoring improvements
For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/release-notes.html
To honour the JVM settings for this build a single-use Daemon process will be forked. For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:disabling_the_daemon in the Gradle documentation.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build

Having the same issue.

[valinagacevschi]

same here, but found the fix.

add this to your package.json and update the expo-location to your current version. mine is below.

  "resolutions": {
    "expo-location": "17.0.1"
  },

or you can change the dependency section in this package.json and update the expo-location version or even remove it.
