Additionally, we are dropping support for old Android images running Ubuntu 20.04 or using Java 8. Starting September 1st, 2024, these will no longer be available:

- `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-8-ndk-r19c`
- `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-11-ndk-r19c`
- `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-8-ndk-r21e`
- `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-11-ndk-r21e`
- `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-11-ndk-r23b`
- `ubuntu-22.04-jdk-8-ndk-r21e`

If you are using one of the images listed above in your [**eas.json**](https://docs.expo.dev/eas/json/#image) [configuration file](https://docs.expo.dev/eas/json/#image), we recommend updating your configuration to use [`latest`](https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/#configuring-build-environment) [and](https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/#configuring-build-environment) [`auto`](https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/#configuring-build-environment) tags or [some of the images with newer JDK and Ubuntu versions](https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/#android-server-images) as soon as possible to avoid any disruptions in your build process.

The `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-8-ndk-r19c` and `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-11-ndk-r19c` images were used by our default [`auto`](https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/#configuring-build-environment) image resolution logic for Expo SDKs below version 46. The `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-11-ndk-r21e` and `ubuntu-20.04-jdk-8-ndk-r21e` were used for SDKs 46 and 47. All of these resolutions will be updated to use the `ubuntu-22.04-jdk-11-ndk-r21e` image. The resolution logic for newer SDKs will remain unchanged.
