React native – Expo EAS build android APK crash on physical device (Expo 51)

I built eas build -p android –profile production(with Expo SDK 51, The build was successful without any problems). Then, I downloaded apk into physical device. When install and open it, the app crashes after showing splash screen.

There’s nothing wrong with the simulator and the expo go app

So I connected the physical device to the PC and tried again as below

1. eas build -p android --profile production --clear-cache
2. adb install -r MyApp.apk
3. adb logcat

But the app crashes after showing splash screen again.

I found exceptions in Logcat’s log as below.
