EAS Update fails to download in Expo Go on Android (SDK 57) — works on iOS

Minimal reproducible example

https://github.com/FatimaSenan/blank57

Steps to reproduce

Any EAS Update published for SDK 57 fails to load in Expo Go on Android with java.io.IOException: Failed to download remote update.

The exact same update group loads fine in Expo Go on iOS.

Reproduced with a blank create-expo-app project (5 dependencies, 1 asset), on two different Android devices.

Minimal reproduction

1. npx create-expo-app@latest blank57 --template blank
2. npx expo install expo-updates
3. eas init && eas update:configure
4. eas update --branch blank --message "test"
5. Scan the update QR code from the EAS dashboard in Expo Go

Expected

The update loads, same as on iOS.

Actual

On Android, Expo Go shows:

Uncaught Error: java.io.IOException: Failed to download remote update

"View error log" contains only that single line, with no asset key or HTTP status.
