Error: A runtime version is set in your AndroidManifest.xml, but is missing from your app.json/app.config.js

Sometimes when running expo prebuild in project with android directory, we get the following error:

So far it has only been observed in CNG projects with android directory left as junk after build.

Quick remedy could be to

• evaluate whether project is CNG, like here: https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/ee198d023415c5d3e0f9ae9676f567badb48821d/packages/expo-updates/utils/src/workflow.ts
• run expo prebuild with flag --clean if it is CNG

It would be nice to understand exactly what the issue is though
