Cannot find native module 'ExpoLocation', js engine: hermes

Question

I'm trying to import the expo-location in my react-native app with expo.

I installed the library with this command:

npx expo install expo-location

And importing it:

import * as Location from 'expo-location'

but as soon as I add the import, the app breaks with the following error:

Error: Cannot find native module 'ExpoLocation', js engine: hermes [Component Stack]

My app.json file has

 "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-location",
        {
          "locationAlwaysAndWhenInUsePermission": "Allow this app to use your location."
        }
      ],

Did you find a solution to this? I'm seeing the same problem. — NorseGaud

you need to rebuild the project

eas build --profile development --platform android
