Hi, Nice to meet you.
Can you help me?
I want to build to .aab file in expo.
If you have any solution, please let me know.
Regards.
I believe you could change the build type to aab or just run eas build. By default the file type is .aab
i followed this steps but get this error:
✖ Uploading to EAS Build (1.8 MB / 1.8 MB)
Error: Request failed: 403 (Forbidden)
Thank you for the blog. Very helpful. 👏👏
After completing the steps to build the apk file as you instructed. I have downloaded the file to my phone. But when I try to open it it fails. When pressed to open it will return to the main screen
How can you solve this issue? Same issue with me....

I read in expo documentation is that we can only make 30 builds free using ease build. is anyone guide me regarding?
Thanks you! Love it.
After building apk, when I try to download the apk, I get an error "page is unreachable", what should I do please
