I'm building a React Native App using Amplify. App works fine and I can run it locally using npx expo start.
I'm now trying to use eas build and for both iOS and Android builds (locally or in cloud), it fails with the following error:
Error: Unable to resolve module ../amplifyconfiguration.json from /home/expo/workingdir/build/frontend/app/_layout.tsx:
None of these files exist:

Is the only solution to somehow login to amplify in the EAS build process and pull the desired environment or have I done something wrong?
The solution was to create an .easignore file. This takes precedence over the .gitignore file.
I copied the .gitignore and excluded both amplifyconfiguration.json and aws-exports.js from it.
