[SDK 46] Can't build Android app on AppCenter if Hermes is enabled

Summary

Hi 👋 I can’t build Android app on AppCenter since SDK 46 if Hermes is enabled.

If I disable Hermes, it’s working on AppCenter. If I try to generate binary with Android Studio on my computer, it’s working too (with Hermes or without) I will send a message to AppCenter team, maybe it miss something on build environment.

Thanks for your help.

I have this error message:

Reproducible demo

Init a bare expo app, enable Hermes and try to build it with AppCenter. Sorry to not give repro, but the problem appears on AppCenter with minimal project setup.
