expo: [SDK 46] Can't build Android app on AppCenter if Hermes is enabled

Summary

Hi 👋 I can’t build Android app on AppCenter since SDK 46 if Hermes is enabled.

If I disable Hermes, it’s working on AppCenter. If I try to generate binary with Android Studio on my computer, it’s working too (with Hermes or without) I will send a message to AppCenter team, maybe it miss something on build environment.

Thanks for your help.

I have this error message:

Reproducible demo

Init a bare expo app, enable Hermes and try to build it with AppCenter. Sorry to not give repro, but the problem appears on AppCenter with minimal project setup.

My version :

react native 0.69.5
gradle  plugin version : 7.0.4
gradle : 7.3.3

App works fine during local build and debugging with metrobundler, but when creating signed apk it shows error

that’s strange. i’ve tried to use AppCenter with hermes and it works for me. we would need a reproducible example repo for further investigation. or maybe it’s worth for you to try EAS Build
