I'm getting an error for my EAS build for ':expo-modules-core' & I'm not able to build via expo build:android.

The full error is below:

[stderr] * Where:
[stderr] Build file '/home/expo/workingdir/build/node_modules/expo-modules- 
core/android/build.gradle' line: 185
[stderr] * What went wrong:
[stderr] A problem occurred evaluating project ':expo-modules-core'.
[stderr] > Could not find method prefab() for arguments [true] on object of type 
com.android.build.gradle.internal.dsl.LibraryBuildFeaturesImpl.

I've tried installing expo modules but having no luck. I've tried so many things... PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks

  • have you tried following the build error troubleshooting guide? https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/troubleshooting/ – brentvatne Aug 31 '22 at 16:58
  • @brentvatne - I've tried to go through the troubleshooting but can't seem to find a fix, app is working locally and I used to be able to build via expo builds fine, but then for some reason I can't do that any more. – Frankinstyyn Sep 01 '22 at 07:31
  • refer to the bottom of the troubleshooting guide where it provides guidance on how to ask a question to get help – brentvatne Sep 02 '22 at 23:53

I had the same issue with react-native and the solution was remove the problematic folder.

In this case:

rm -fR /home/expo/workingdir/build/node_modules/expo-modules-core

Maybe it's in a wrong state (if you are upgrading your expo version).

  • I've tried to comment but got the message: "You must have 50 reputation to comment". The question was about how to compile when that message is given. So the solution that worked for me is removing the old cache folder. Why it doesn't provide an answer? – Joaquim Manzini Mar 01 '23 at 13:06
