When running expo build:android, I get 'expo build:android has been discontinued (January 4, 2023)' Error

When running the command expo build:android I get an error that reads:

expo build:android has been discontinued (January 4, 2023).

I just installed my expo and it works fine on emulator. I am just not able to use this build command.

Expo's classic build service was replaced by EAS build.

The classic build service (run with expo build command) was designed in 2016 for how Expo apps worked back then: each app included all of the native modules in the Expo SDK and there was no way to fully customize the app’s native code. We needed a new build service to support building modern Expo apps with custom native code in the cloud - what's now EAS Build.

EAS Build has been available since late 2021, and classic builds were finally sunset in Jan 2023.

And more info on switching to EAS Build: https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/migrating/

expo:build was only supporting sdk 46 and lower.

Try running these commands instead:

eas build:configure

and then

eas build -p android

more info on this can be found here and here.
