Cannot build Android under expo SDK 37

See original GitHub issue

After upgrading to expo SDK 37, I can no longer build for android. I’m using RN 0.61:

I tried adding the local.properties file along with the sdk.dir path but that did not work either. Any help would be much appreciated.

My environment variable config for ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and other variables somehow got corrupted when installing an unrelated app. Fixed the env vars and now the Android build works. Thanks so much!
