Experiencing the exact same issue on @rnrepo/expo-config-plugin@0.3.0-beta.0 with React Native 0.81.5 / Expo SDK 54.

Identical linker errors:

❌ Undefined symbols for architecture arm64
┌─ Symbol: dispatch thunk of Lottie.LottieAnimationView.isAnimationPlaying.getter : Swift.Bool
└─ Referenced from: lottie_react_native.ContainerView.setSpeed(CoreGraphics.CGFloat) -> ()
Plus the same framework-not-found warnings (yoga, RCTDeprecation, UIUtilities, CoreAudioTypes).

Local --configuration Release builds succeed, but not on EAS.

lottie-react-native version: 7.3.4

Workaround I did if anyone need: adding lottie-react-native to the iOS denylist in rnrepo.config.json:

{
  "denyList": {
    "ios": ["lottie-react-native"]
  }
}

+1 I had to exclude lottie
