[mubasherkhizer]

file:///home/expo/workingdir/build/node_modules/react-native-image-marker/android/src/main/java/com/jimmydaddy/imagemarker/base/MarkTextOptions.kt:15:41 Argument type mismatch: actual type is 'com.facebook.react.bridge.ReadableMap?', but 'com.facebook.react.bridge.ReadableMap'

EAS build is failing with the latest version 1.2.6 of react-native-image-marker

My Expo Project Details are

"react": "19.0.0"
"react-native": "0.79.2"
"react-native-image-marker": "1.2.6"

after the upgrade to:
"expo": "53.0.9"
"react": "19.0.0"
"react-native": "0.79.2"
"react-native-image-marker": "1.2.6"

I have exactly the same problem

+1 for the fix please, thank you very much in advance.

here is the "workaround", but not applicable for expo build, patch has to be created for that
