React native – Issue with eas build when changing app.json "name" changes

I’m encountering an issue while using eas to build a React Native project created with Expo(not bare). When I modify the "name" field in app.json (changing it to "Çevrim dışı İngilizce" for example), which includes non-ASCII Turkish characters, eas build fails. However, if I keep the name unchanged, there are no errors. I’ll share the Gradle logs for reference. Due to restrictions during project creation, I’m unable to have Turkish characters in the name field initially, thus the necessity to change it afterwards. Any insights on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
My Gradle logs are:

Welcome to Gradle 8.3!
Here are the highlights of this release:
 - Faster Java compilation
- Reduced memory usage
 - Support for running on Java 20
For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/8.3/release-notes.html
To honour the JVM settings for this build a single-use Daemon process will be forked. For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.3/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:disabling_the_daemon in the Gradle documentation.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build

    I found the solution. It is about "İ" character. I can use "çşöğü" etc, but if I use "İ", it fails. I have used "i" instead of "İ"

    According to this GH Issue, this is a known limitation for the name field. The recommendation in that thread is to use Localization to change your app’s name.
