Missing plugin in `eas build` of react-native project - react-native

Question

I am in the process of trying to build a preview Android version using EAS build, but when I run eas build -p android --profile android-preview I get this error:
[stderr] A problem occurred evaluating project ':unimodules-core'.
[stderr] >
[stderr] Plugin with id 'maven' not found.
Now I see people are suggesting replacing this:
apply plugin: 'maven'
With this, in the build.gradle file:
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
But I don't find that reference to maven anywhere in my project. And my build.gradle file looks like this:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = findProperty('android.buildToolsVersion') ?: '31.0.0'
minSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.minSdkVersion') ?: '21')
compileSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.compileSdkVersion') ?: '31')
targetSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.targetSdkVersion') ?: '31')
if (findProperty('android.kotlinVersion')) {
kotlinVersion = findProperty('android.kotlinVersion')
}
frescoVersion = findProperty('expo.frescoVersion') ?: '2.5.0'
kotlinVersion: '1.6.20'
if (System.properties['os.arch'] == 'aarch64') {
// For M1 Users we need to use the NDK 24 which added support for aarch64
ndkVersion = '24.0.8215888'
} else {
// Otherwise we default to the side-by-side NDK version from AGP.
ndkVersion = '21.4.7075529'
}
}
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1')
classpath('com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin')
classpath('de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:5.0.1')
classpath('org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.20')
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
def REACT_NATIVE_VERSION = new File(['node', '--print', "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(require.resolve('react-native/package.json'), 'utf-8')).version"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim())
allprojects {
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force "com.facebook.react:react-native:" + REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
}
}
repositories {
mavenLocal()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url(new File(['node', '--print', "require.resolve('react-native/package.json')"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim(), '../android'))
}
maven {
// Android JSC is installed from npm
url(new File(['node', '--print', "require.resolve('jsc-android/package.json')"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim(), '../dist'))
}
google()
mavenCentral {
// We don't want to fetch react-native from Maven Central as there are
// older versions over there.
content {
excludeGroup 'com.facebook.react'
}
}
maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
}
}
How can I resolve this? Any help would be appreciated.
