Preliminary Checks
Reproduction
Not providing a reproduction repository because this appears to be a package publishing / Maven artifact availability issue. The build fails during Gradle dependency resolution before app code or Clerk runtime configuration is involved.

Description
@clerk/expo@3.2.9 appears to require Clerk Android SDK artifacts that are not currently published to Maven Central.
The @clerk/expo@3.2.9 Android Gradle file declares:
clerkAndroidApiVersion = "1.0.16"
clerkAndroidUiVersion = "1.0.16"
implementation("com.clerk:clerk-android-ui:$clerkAndroidUiVersion")
implementation("com.clerk:clerk-android-api:$clerkAndroidApiVersion")The @clerk/expo@3.2.9 release notes also mention that the fix depends on Clerk.attachActivity(), which was "added in clerk-android 1.0.16".
However, Maven Central metadata currently lists 1.0.15 as the latest/release version for both artifacts:
Direct artifact URLs for 1.0.16 return 404:
Steps to reproduce:
- Use an Expo / React Native app with
@clerk/expo@3.2.9.
- Ensure the Android native project is generated / prebuilt with the
@clerk/expo native module.
- Run an Android build, for example
expo run:android or ./android/gradlew app:assembleDebug.
Expected behavior:
The Android build should resolve all Clerk Android dependencies declared by @clerk/expo@3.2.9.
Actual behavior:
Gradle fails during dependency resolution:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
> Could not find com.clerk:clerk-android-ui:1.0.16.

@clerk/expo@3.2.8 pinned clerk-android-api / clerk-android-ui to 1.0.13, which is available on Maven Central. The latest 3.2.10 canary I checked still appears to pin 1.0.16, so this may affect fresh Android builds until 1.0.16 is published or @clerk/expo is republished with available Maven coordinates.
