It doesn't work on Expo 51 on Android

When I try to add the dependency react-native-version-check-expo and build the app for Android (with Expo 51), it throws an error.

Here's the relevant build log:

> Configure project :app

I have the same issue and fix it installing expo-localization

npx expo install expo-localization

{ "expo": { "plugins": ["expo-localization"] } }
