I am using an eas build for a project that is part of a managed expo workflow. I followed the instructions under "expo installation" in the main readme. When I attempt to run eas build --profile development --platform ios I get the following cryptic error:

Failed to resolve plugin for module "react-native-fbads" relative to "D:\Projects\pollenbbmap"

My app.json looks like this

{
  "expo": {
    "owner": "gainesvilleboyz",
    "name": "pollenbbmap",
    "slug": "pollenbbmap",
    "version": "0.0.1",

        }
      ],
      "react-native-fbads"
    ]
  }
}

Has anyone else experienced this error? Google shows zero results with this issue.

For me, it worked when I created a file react-native-fbads.js, with

const {
  AndroidConfig,
  createRunOncePlugin,
  withAndroidManifest,
} = require('@expo/config-plugins');

const { getMainApplicationOrThrow, prefixAndroidKeys } = AndroidConfig.Manifest;

const INTERSTITIAL_AD_ACTIVITY = 'com.facebook.ads.InterstitialAdActivity';

const withFacebookManifest = (config) => {
  return withAndroidManifest(config, (config) => {
    config.modResults = setFacebookConfig(config.modResults);
    return config;
  });
};

function setFacebookConfig(androidManifest) {
  let mainApplication = getMainApplicationOrThrow(androidManifest);
  mainApplication = ensureFacebookActivity({ mainApplication });

  return androidManifest;
}

function ensureFacebookActivity({ mainApplication }) {
  if (Array.isArray(mainApplication.activity)) {
    // Remove all Facebook InterstitialAdActivity first
    mainApplication.activity = mainApplication.activity.filter((activity) => {
      return activity.$?.['android:name'] !== INTERSTITIAL_AD_ACTIVITY;
    });
  } else {
    mainApplication.activity = [];
  }

  mainApplication.activity.push(getFacebookAdActivity());
  return mainApplication;
}

function buildXMLItem({ head, children }) {
  return { ...(children ?? {}), $: head };
}

function getFacebookAdActivity() {
  /**
<activity
  android:name="com.facebook.ads.InterstitialAdActivity"
  android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
/>
   */
  return buildXMLItem({
    head: prefixAndroidKeys({
      name: INTERSTITIAL_AD_ACTIVITY,
      configChanges: 'keyboardHidden|orientation',
    }),
  });
}

/**
 * Apply react-native-fbads configuration for Expo SDK 44 projects.
 */
const withReactNativeFbads = (config) => {
  return withFacebookManifest(config);
};

const pkg = require('../../node_modules/react-native-fbads/package.json');

module.exports = {
  withFacebookManifest,
  setFacebookConfig,
  default: createRunOncePlugin(withReactNativeFbads, pkg.name, pkg.version),
};

and on my app.config.ts I used on the plugins array like that:

plugins: [
        // ......
        './react-native-fbads.js',
]

same problem

PluginError: Failed to resolve plugin for module "react-native-fbads" relative to "D:\Projects\myApp"

'./react-native-fbads.js',
This definitely works but I'm not sure this will be an optimal solution. Shouldn't EAS recognize the plugin file that is in node_modules? This is my first time creating a custom dev build for expo so I'm not 100% of the process.

[cbridges1]

It looks like there is no dist folder for this package. The package.json file is looking for a reference that does not exist in the node_modules directory.

Hi Freind
I run React-native -cli and also cope this problem. How to fix it?
