[eas][android] expo-branch cause app crash

Summary

Look like double-linking causes a crash on Android. How I can exclude expo-branch on android?

E AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: create_react_context
E AndroidRuntime: Process: XXXXX PID: 10110
E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Native module RNBranch tried to override RNBranchModule. Check the getPackages() method in MainApplication.java, it might be that module is being created twice. If this was your intention, set canOverrideExistingModule=true. This error may also be present if the package is present only once in getPackages() but is also automatically added later during build time by autolinking. Try removing the existing entry and rebuild.

Can I use this config to exclude? https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/422beec748adabbf0f6be3922e9a7ea6170fb8a2/apps/bare-expo/package.json#L36-L53

Or this config? https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/1e001f80d902303a40e370c7b996b01c3b088119/apps/bare-expo/package.json#L36-L66

Managed or bare workflow? If you have ios/ or android/ directories in your project, the answer is bare!

managed

What platform(s) does this occur on?

Android

SDK Version (managed workflow only)

41.0.0

Environment

EAS build

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

none,

Yes, the presence of android/ios directories means you have a “bare” app, rather than a managed app.

I’m coming to the conclusion that ios/ and android/ folders are only needed on the local box to be able to run the apps on Simulator directly (opposed to Expo go) – there is no need to version control these folders, they will be re-generated on the eas build server (or on local) as needed.

It all finally works! Thank you for your help.
