Today I built a react native app and it worked perfectly. After that I changed one number within an array that cannot have any impact on the build failing. The app is working perfectly in the Expo Go app on my phone.
Still, when I tried to build the app again the following error appeared - three times in a row. I looked in the internet for a solution but could not find a clear answer. It seems to have different causes depending on the expo-cli version and so on.
Error log (only the lines marked in red color (errors) due to letter restriction (EDIT: Link to full log: https://justpaste.it/56lge)):
EDIT: I just deleted the app icon and splash screen image and set them back to default and then it worked again. I noticed that my icon was a jpeg whereas the original is a png but the documentation says that jpeg is supported. I just built again with my splash screen image but still using the original expo app icon. This means that the icon was the problem.
