Expo Router Upgrade and Associated Expo Update for Start UI Native

[omar-bear]

Overview

We are currently experiencing an issue in our start-ui-native project where the login page appears twice upon disconnection. This issue is similar to the one reported in expo/router#838. The root cause seems to be linked to our current use of expo-router@1.5.3.

Problem Description

• Current Behavior: On disconnection, the login page is presented twice to the user.
• Expected Behavior: The login page should appear only once upon disconnection.

Proposed Solution

The solution appears to be an upgrade of expo-router to @2.0.4 or later, as this version includes a fix for this issue. However, this upgrade requires a complete update of Expo in our project.

Current package.json Dependencies

{
  "dependencies": {
    "expo": "48.0.19",
    "expo-router": "1.5.3",
    ...
  }
