Turtle build:android fails in azuredevops pipeline, what am i missing? - bash

Question

I get this error when running turtle build:android
turtle[4754] ERROR: Failed to build standalone app
err: ConfigError: The expected package.json path: /Users/runner/work/1/s/<key_alias>/package.json does not exist
This is what the script looks like in my .yml
turtle setup:ios \
IOS_DIST_P12_PASSWORD=$(IOS_DIST_P12_PASSWORD) \
turtle build:ios -u $(EXPO_CLI_USER) -p $(EXPO_CLI_PASSWORD)\
--team-id $(APPLE_TEAM_ID) \
--dist-p12-path ./my-app_dist.p12 \
--provisioning-profile-path ./myapp.mobileprovision \
--release-channel deployment
turtle setup:android \
ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=$(ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD) \
ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD=$(ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD) \
turtle build:android -u $(EXPO_CLI_USER) -p $(EXPO_CLI_PASSWORD)\
--keystore-path ./my-app.jks \
--keystore-alias $(KEY_ALIAS) \
-t apk \
--release-channel deployment
I have all the correct information in the yml and all the env variables are defined. Do I also need to run keytool command before i run turtle build? I have already done it for the app in the past and the filepaths are there.
Same issue for ios, it says the path/package.json doesnt exist.

As a workaround:
Remove the Expo variables in front of the build command (they were already declared as variables) and it worked fine.
For details, please refer to this case.
In addition, you can try to check whether the android.package key is included in the expo object of the app.json file
{
"expo": {
"sdkVersion": "26.0.0",
"name": "TongPos",
"description": "your app desc",
"android": {
"package": "com.sohagfaruque.tongpos"
}
}
}
