Hi @Betoml5 ,

From the error message, it seems that there is a problem with the expo-application package, specifically related to Gradle configuration. The error message indicates that the build is failing due to an unknown property classifier for the task :expo-application:androidSourcesJar.

I would suggest updating dependencies and try clearing the gradle cache and rebuilding the project.

Thanks,
Wissam

@wissam-khalili I have the same error, tried rebuilding the project but the error still appears.

Hi,
It's a dependency issue.
Since Expo SDK51 all expo-packages had made a major update. Cloudinary-React-native need to be updated.

I've created a PR but I'm waiting for a review.

Until to be updated, you can do it by yourself:

You can fork Cloudinary-React-Native and update all dependencies of expo-package to the latest version. And after you can import your own forked repository into your project.

Hope it will help until the update of Cloudinary

Hi, what i did was use the Upload API

https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1//<resource_type>/upload

With this i was able to upload my assets in my case images.

Hi @Betoml5 ,

Thank you for the update.
I’ll investigate the root cause of this issue internally and get back to you.

Best Regards,

Hi @wissam-khalili,

Do you have any news?
For me it's just a dependency issue, I've made a PR and it's workng perfectly (while I get the same error as @Betoml5 on expo-asset, expo-av and expo-crypto).

On Expo SDK51 they access differently to expo-packages and therefore all of them where updated. But on Cloudinary you still request the old version of the expo-packages.
On older version of Expo cloudinary is working fine, but in my case I cannot come back on older Expo versions.

Best

For me, I have done npx -y expo-doctor.
After that, I have had a list of dependencies who create this error and I have remove it.
I have delete the node_modules package and package-lock.json.
And done "npm install"
Finally, launch the build and it was ok for me
