Hey all,
Nicola here from the React Native team.
Here is the official recommendation on how to overcome this failure:

i got the "Not in GZIP format" in expo-modules-core

The three issues before yours are all specific to this issue. This is essentially just a duplicate of them.

#844

This is having a significant effect with users unable to compile apps for React Native:

@cortinico it affects android as well, as we only ship android, so we went the patch package route as well.

Nope it does not affect Android as we distribute a prebuilt and users don't need to re-download boost. If you're seeing a failure, that's caused by one of your dependencies that should not re-download boost

We use reanimated, but I'm not quit sure what to say. If I patch-package react-native (0.73.1) than building release works.

@cortinico In case of Expensify (react native partner), they are building react native from source, so they need to download boost. There we also get the Not in GZIP format error.
Is the fix from iOS transferable to android?

Okay, sorry, taking my words back. Seems like the issue is with the reanimated package! Sorry for the ping
