react native expo - Execution failed for task ':expo-updates:compileReleaseKotlin' - react-native

Question

In order to add OTA updates functionality, I installed expo-updates package and before that I configured expo-modules#latest in my react native bare project. Everything worked fine, build successfully, but when I execute the command eas build -p android --profile preview, it crashes/build-fails after 6 mins due to the following error:
[stderr] FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.
[stderr] 1: Task failed with an exception.

Error: Gradle build failed with unknown error. See logs for the "Run gradlew" phase for more information.
I searched for hours related to this issue and found something similar here https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/19259#issuecomment-1259724391, applied the changes, and it is still throwing the same build everytime... Everything works in development though, no crashes there...
My env:
{
...,
"dependencies": {
"react": "18.1.0",
"react-native": "0.70.0",
"expo": "^46.0.0",
"expo-updates": "~0.14.6",
},
...
}
I am not able to create a build due to this error, if someone could help, I would really appreciate it!
Feel free to ask any more details if needed!
