fix: android crash

• updated releaseChannel in eas.json to channel so that the expo-updates package can work

SVA-1091

even if we don't use the expo-updates package, it needs to be configured to prevent the application from crashing on android.
in order for the expo-updates package to work with eas, the releaseChannel in eas.json had to be replaced with channel.
expo doc.: https://docs.expo.dev/build/updates/
expo doc.: https://docs.expo.dev/eas-update/eas-cli/?redirected

channel: The channel is a name we can give to multiple builds to identify them easily. Learn more
This field only applies to the EAS Update service, if your project still uses Classic Updates then use the releaseChannel field instead.

releaseChannel: Name of the release channel for the expo-updates package. Learn more
If you do not specify a channel, your binary will pull releases from the default channel. If you do not use expo-updates in your project then this property will have no effect.
This field only applies to the Classic Update service; if you use EAS Update, use the channel field instead.

after this update, the following line needs to be added to app.json when creating a build for the application.

"updates": { "url": "https://u.expo.dev/projectId" }

PR Summary

• Update in Configuration File
  The configuration file, eas.json, had an update. The environment settings for production, preview, development, and development-simulator were revised. Specifically, the term releaseChannel has been updated to channel for clearer understanding.
• New Addition for Testing Environments
  In the preview and development settings of the same configuration file, a new attribute named distribution has been added. It's currently set to "internal", which indicates these environments are intended for internal testing or previewing of the developed application before it's released for broader use.

wow nice PR! thanks @ardasnturk.
the custom projectId in "updates": { "url": "https://u.expo.dev/projectId" } is needed for each release branch, right?

Yes, it is required for each release branch. 👍
