Open with Orbit fails with `JSON Parse error: Unexpected character: C`

[pokey]

Summary

From a fresh expo / eas project (following the expo / eas initialization steps), I get the following error when I click on the Open with Orbit button

The only thing I can think that I'm doing differently from the guide is using bun instead of npm. Note that downloading the build and dropping onto simulator works fine

Steps to reproduce

1. Follow guidelines from expo / eas, but using bun / bunx instead of npm / npx
2. Click on Open with Orbit
3. See error message
