Summary

I have been creating my builds (both Android and iOS) with EAS perfectly right till version [email protected] and I thing 3.14.X too. But since I upgrade to versions 3.16.X and 3.17.0 my app is crashing. EAS BUILD and submission seems to be ok, but the app crashed since the beginning.

Problem comes because new versions of eas-cli is editing AndroidManifest.xml changing as it said in this issue comment https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/21238#issuecomment-1636277775

This is the error shown when app crashes:

java.lang.AssertionError: The embedded manifest is invalid or could not be read. Make sure you have configured expo-updates correctly in android/app/build.gradle. null
