./gradlew assembleRelease BUILD FAILED with Could not find com.linkedin.dexmaker:dexmaker:2.21.0

Question

It's a react-native project with expo bare workflow.
./gradlew assembleDebug works normally and I'm able to run the app.

However ./gradlew assembleRelease build fails with the following output:

Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':expo-json-utils:debugAndroidTestRuntimeClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.linkedin.dexmaker:dexmaker:2.21.0.

         project :expo-json-utils > io.mockk:mockk-android:1.10.6 > io.mockk:mockk-agent-android:1.10.6

expo-json-utils is not listed in package.json dependencies so it must be a child dependency of one of the packages.
Adding jcenter() to android/build.gradle doesn't fix the issue.

Any ideas which package may use expo-json-utils or how to get rid of this issue?
