Run yarn prebuild to generate the android folder.

In the ./android folder run ./gradlew clean

Then using the presets in eas.json you may run

eas build --platform android --profile preview3 

NOTE for build to be successful in EAS you must add the below to ./android/build.gradle

android {
   packagingOptions {
        pickFirst '**/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst '**/libfbjni.so'
        pickFirst '**/libcrypto.so'
