I carry all the red-flags of a JS web-developer coming into app-dev land. I have no issue in learning for myself but, I do sometimes need a little nudge of direction/context here since I'm mostly getting slapped down by just trying to implement a little bit of boilerplate. Creating a expo app with npx create-expo-app. I dl a couple of libraries (fonts,icons, reanimated) and set up a trivial Loader screen with a little bit of reanimated implemented. Now, running the commands of eas build:configure and then eas build -p android --profile preview, I get the Gradle build failed with unknown error. I'm basically getting clipped by this error almost no matter what I do (or little I change to the startup boilerplate) so again, I'm a little frustrated at knowing really where to begin. I get that there is quiiiiiite a bit all going on underneath the hood so, yea, if any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Just trying to get familiar with expo/app-building process so really just trying to run builds on almost untouched boilerplate. I ran the npx expo-doctor and updated a couple of expo config/plugins that were apparently outdated but again these all feel like grievances within the initial setup. I wasn't expecting errors from things that seem?? entirely untouched/unbothered by me.
Lastly, the suggestion of running ./gradlew is also a huh to me since expo seems to tuck all that underneath the hood and does not provide an android/ios directories.
Small update happens trying to build right after installing expo install @expo-google-fonts/bangers expo-font expo-app-loading
Here are the error logs. Again, any suggestions appreciated.
Below is my package.json as well as the error-logs
