Expo kit eject not working because android name error

Expo Development Tools
1

I’m trying to expo eject from my react native project as I need to install some custom native modules.

However when I get to the point of naming the android package it comes with an error no matter what I call it.

? What would you like your Android package name to be?

Invalid format of Android package name (only alphanumeric characters, ‘.’ and ‘_’ are allowed,
and each ‘.’ must be followed by a letter)

any help would be much appreciated?

Thanks

The output of expo diagnostics was:

  Expo CLI 2.15.4 environment info:
    System:
      OS: macOS 10.14.3
      Shell: 5.3 - /bin/zsh

    npmGlobalPackages:

Thanks in advance.

Hey @feidakila,

Just to be certain, the value of your package property follows those aforementioned rules correct? If so, could you try running rm -rf .expo and seeing if that helps. If not, perhaps try uninstalling and re-installing expo-cli globally.

One last thing to try is init’ing a new project and seeing if ejecting that works.

Cheers,
Adam

Have tried a lot of combinations following the rules, for example: fit, fitDroid, fitdroid, fit2, fit_droid, etc.
Deleting .expo folder does not work
Re-installing expo-cli does not work either (npm uninstall -g expo-cli && npm install -g expo-cli)

The same happens for a newly created either Blank or Tabs project.

Eject works for React Native option but not for Expo Kit option, does not pass the android app name verification.
