MongoDB - The argument to $size must be an Array, but was of type: EOO / missing

You can use the $ifNull operator here. It seems the field is either not an array or not present by the given error:

{ "$project": {
    "people": 1,
    "Count": { 
        "$size": { "$ifNull": [ "$myFieldArray", [] ] }
    }
}}

Also you might want to check for the $type in your $match in case these do exist but are not an array.

From MongoDB 3.2 and newer, you can use $isArray to check if your field is an array along with the $cond operator to return the field on evaluating with $isArray:

{ "$project": {
    "people": 1,
    "myFieldArrayCount": { 
        "$size": { 
            "$cond": [ 
                { "$isArray": "$myFieldArray" }, 
                "$myFieldArray", 
                []
            ]
        } 
    }
}}
