I have an Expo iOS/Android app with many yml file assets.

The app works fine using ExpoGo and Android build.

However, whenever I try to build iOS standalone builds using eas build I always end up with the following error

Error: Calling the 'readAsStringAsync' function has failednU2192 Caused by: File '/Users/johnDoe/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B463AF76-44EB-4DEF-9DB8-45BCA9B52BC1/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/BE917BA8-E697-4645-A5BA-4C113E222627/Example.app/assets/assets/index.yml' is not readable

Fonts and images load fine though.

• metro.config.js

const { getDefaultConfig } = require('expo/metro-config')

const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname)
config.resolver.assetExts.push('yml')

module.exports = config
