Expo SDK 56 is not able to build with Skia v`2.6.2`: 'third_party/base64.h' file not found

[lucksp]

Description

As a developer following the Expo SDK56 upgrade instructions, I am unable to build a development prebuild anymore. There is a build failure of 'third_party/base64.h' file not found

PR #3853 was released, but requires an update from the default 2.6.2 that Expo has. SDK 56 is fixed to @shopify/react-native-skia: "2.6.2" so altering the version will cause a warning in expo-doctor.

Will Expo ever update their versions to allow 2.6.3?

So i tested out 2.6.3 which gives the warning:

Using 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2 for @shopify/react-native-skia because this version was explicitly provided. Packages excluded from dependency validation should be listed in expo.install.exclude in package.json. Learn more

However, if I update to 2.6.3, it fails the Expo prebuild still:
