[SDK-46] expo-modules-core CMake errors

Summary

I have 2 repos that use the latest Expo SDK - 46. On both, I’ve been getting CMake errors in the Android Studio terminal when running ‘Refresh Gradle Dependancies’ and a build.

I updated this repo to Expo SDK 46 when it was managed and then prebuilt the app after that.

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

Open Android directory in Android Studio then refresh gradle dependancies then the error should appear in the console.

I had this same issue in my own project and when I opened Android Studio, it recommended upgrading Gradle Plugin from 7.1.1 to 7.2.2. After doing that, Make Project and Run 'app' worked fine.

I tried doing the same with the minimal reproducible example above, first getting the CMake errors, then upgrading Gradle Plugin to 7.2.2, and I was able to Make Project without an issue.

So I guess the question is … how do we upgrade Gradle Plugin to 7.2.2 in a config plugin or some sticky way so that EAS builds don’t fail?

Edit: interestingly enough, the eas build went through without an issue 🤷‍♂️

The workaround that works for me:

Run npx expo prebuild
Open Android Studio and the Android project
Wait for the build to fail with the CMake error
Ignore the suggestion to upgrade Gradle
Close Android Studio
Open Android Studio and the project
Click Build } Make Project

Strangely, trying Build } Make Project without first closing Android Studio doesn’t work. I also tried upgrading the Gradle plugin, and deleting ~/.gradle/caches/, but nothing worked until closing and re-opening Android Studio.
