EAS build error when doing internal distribution build Android

Question

I can't locate the issue of why my build is failing. The project is fairly empty for now as I'm just trying to set up a React Native project

    [stderr]    ... 36 more

    Error: Gradle build failed with unknown error. See logs for the "Run gradlew" phase for more information.

As I'm not sure what is relevant information I'll add as much as possible. Few things I've tried:

Doing a prebuild of Android

At Path android/app/build.gradle adding:

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true //Add this line
}

and

  implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1'

java --version gives:

     java 18.0.2.1 2022-08-18
     Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.2.1+1-1)
     Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.2.1+1-1, mixed mode, sharing)

./gradlew --version gives:

Error occurs when doing : eas build --profile development --platform android

I have been doing android development on Android Studio without any issues for a year or so. I am not used to React Native yet. Opening project in Expo Go works, but not building it.
