Android builds failing on eas-cli 16.20.3 #3214
Description
Build/Submit details page URL
No response
Summary
When I run eas build --profile preview and select an Android build, it consistently fails with
"android.package" is not defined in your app.config.js and we can't update this file programmatically. Add the value on your own and run this command again.
This value is defined in our app.config.js file
I reverted the cli to 16.20.0 and the builds pass as expected.
Managed or bare?
