Vite crashes on Android

[FossPrime]

Update: The issue is esbuild has a binary and supports Android, but it does not make a build for Intel based Android, so it both requires the binary code and can't provide it.

error message says esbuild doesn't offer any android binaries.

Got it thank you. I posted the issue at evanw/esbuild#2068

P.S. swc now compiles to WASM. Perhaps defaulting to esbuild-wasm would be ideal. I thought sass-loader was the last binary we'd have to deal with in node projects.

Fixed upstream. Just delete the lockfile to get the latest esbuild.
