I was working on a project few months back, that time it was working, now I cloned the repo again and did all the steps like
npm install and then npx expo run:android
but I get this error
and even after uninstalling expo-modules-core I get the error
> Configure project :expo-modules-core

Error: C:\Users\princ\Downloads\freelancing\prince\tradespoto-admin\android\gradlew.bat exited with non-zero code: 1
So the main reason for this issue is that ANDROID_HOME variable is not set and nor is the local.properties file present in android folder.
For me personally, it got fixed after putting local.properties file because in Windows, setting the variable doesn't work.
So in local.properties file put this.
sdk.dir={path to sdk}
Note - If the path says folder name is "Sdk" still use "sdk" only, then only it worked for me.
In Mac and in Linux, you can do by setting the variable in
For mac, set in ~/.zshrc
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
For linux, do same way, just path will change and do it the terminal profile you are using.
[EDIT] If changes are not working, and you still get error. One time I fixed it by doing this.
