Description
### Build/Submit details page URL
_No response_
### Summary
When I run `eas build --profile preview` and select an Android build, it consistently fails with
```
"android.package" is not defined in your app.config.js and we can't update this file programmatically. Add the value on your own and run this command again.
```
This value is defined in our `app.config.js` file
I reverted the cli to 16.20.0 and the builds pass as expected.
