[stderr] Attribute application@allowBackup value=(true) from AndroidManifest.xml:16:162-188
[stderr] is also present at [:baronha_react-native-photo-editor] AndroidManifest.xml:14:9-36 value=(false).

Task :expo-dev-client:compileDebugJavaWithJavac
Task :baronha_react-native-photo-editor:compileDebugKotlin FAILED

I've gotten the android build to build successfully before with this package INCLUDED in the package.json. However the build crashes on start up with the package installed. I recently updated to expo 47 recently and after that I can't get a successful build on android even with adding the tools:replace.... suggestion.
How do you fix this for android? The application builds fine for iOS with eas but fails for android.
Is this just not EXPO/EAS compatible for android?

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

@ZackryPaul I made this package working with Expo Dev Client for Android by applying patch with changes in files node_modules/@baronha/react-native-photo-editor/android/gradle.properties and node_modules/@baronha/react-native-photo-editor/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml mentioned in this comment.

You can use patch-package for that. Here is the patch content just in case:

Install patch-package, add it to postinstall script in package.json, and put it the diff above into patches/@baronha+react-native-photo-editor+1.1.6.patch. After that rebuild your android app using EAS.
