'Expo app runs on ios and emulator but not on android device
The Expo app will build and run correctly on ios simulator, ios device, and android emulator. but when I build an apk and run on an android device the app freezes after login and will not respond. I'm fairly new to react-native and development in general so I'm not sure what I would be doing wrong?

I had this issue with my code. It wasn't login related, but rather because I was using Google Maps API and I didn't have an API key set in app.json for Android.

Are you running the app on debug or release? You can trace the error using logcat on Android Studio or using react-native log-android in a terminal window. That should show you the error message. There are many ways to understand what is happening after you login. Check out https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/debugging
You can also show us some code, getting your login code would help shed some light on what is going on.

The comment of @letsGITstupid helped me out to figure out the issue, that's why +1.
However, the real problem was lack of API key in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="YOUR_KEY"/>
