Expo EAS build android apk crash on physical device

Issue

I built eas -p android --profile luna. Then, I downloaded into physical device. When open it, the app crashes after showing splash screen. Expo SDK 45.0.0.
I tried to change eas.json profile. Here is what I tried.

"luna": {
  "android": {
    "buildType": "apk",
    "distribution": "internal"
  }
}

"luna": {
  "android": {
    "buildType": "apk",
    "distribution": "internal",
    "gradleCommand": ":app:assembleRelease"
  }
}

"luna": {
  "android": {
    "buildType": "apk"
  }
},

"luna": {
  "android": {
    "buildType": "apk",
    "developmentClient": true
  }
},

DevelopmentClient one can be opened but not the one I want.
Can someone tell or direct or advice me

1. How to build apk with eas for physical device
   
2. Should I downgrade to Expo SDK 44.0.0 and use expo build:android?
   
3. How to create apk for physical device without expo (like ejecting expo)
   
4. expo build classic build will be removed completely. Should I build react-native app without expo in the future?

my package.json file.

Solution

You can try to log your errors. The first step I would recommend you to take is connecting your device (having USB debugging active) to your PC, go to where your adb is installed, open a CMD/PowerShell window in that folder, run adb logcat *:S ReactNative:V ReactNativeJS:V, and try to open the app that crashes to see what it logs when it does.

An issue that I've had was that there was a problem with some dependency that EAS was adding during the build, so I installed it (react-native-reanimated@^2.8.0) separately through npm i, and then my build worked with EAS.
