expo production build error

[mardo]

Hello! I am having an issue creating a production build for android in my app.

I also tried creating a brand new code base with npx cli-rn new newProject and had the same issue without modifying the generated code.

I'm running eas build --platform android, and the build fails with these logs at the end:

> Task :app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets
warning: the transform cache was reset.

Removing "@babel/plugin-proposal-export-namespace-from" from plugins in babel.config.js fixes the build problem.

Looks like adding that is required for web support, which I don't need for the app I'm building, so it is fine for me to remove it. However, looks like still an issue if you're interested in web support.
