…-749) The `Fix package.json main entry` step overrode `main` to `node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js`, which `@expo/config` in Expo SDK 57 no longer resolves. Gradle's `entryFile = file(... resolveAppEntry ...)` then got an empty string and blew up with `Cannot convert '' to File.` Drop the shim (checked-in `main: "index.ts"` is the SDK 49+ default and works with EAS local build) and the now-redundant `Verify EAS CLI installation` step. Add `~/.gradle/caches` + `~/.gradle/wrapper` for Android and `~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods` + `~/.cocoapods/repos` for iOS so repeat runs skip the RN/Kotlin/AGP/Expo maven downloads and the CocoaPods CDN refresh.
