Summary

Using Expo Update, when receiving updates/Checking for updates, a WHITE SCREEN appears? I found a similar error https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70705994/expo-api-for-app-updates-resulting-in-blank-white-screen In my case I have the following error, whenever there are updates the project starts checking for updates, leaving the screen blank for a few seconds, after which it is directed to the project's home screen, without the need to close the project on Android

I am running update check in app.ts with the following code.

useEffect(() => { async function onFetchUpdateAsync() { try { const update = await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync(); if (update.isAvailable) { await Updates.fetchUpdateAsync(); await Updates.reloadAsync(); } } catch (error) { console.log(Error fetching latest Expo update: ${error}); } } if (!__DEV__) { onFetchUpdateAsync(); } }, []);

Managed or bare?

Environment

WARNING: We recommend using PowerShell or Bash via WSL 2 for development with Expo CLI on Windows. You may encounter issues using cmd.exe.

✔ Check Expo config for common issues ✔ Check package.json for common issues ✔ Check native tooling versions ✔ Check dependencies for packages that should not be installed directly ✔ Check for common project setup issues ✔ Check npm/ yarn versions ✔ Check for issues with metro config ✔ Check Expo config (app.json/ app.config.js) schema ✔ Check that native modules do not use incompatible support packages ✔ Check for legacy global CLI installed locally ✔ Check that packages match versions required by installed Expo SDK ✔ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK

However, when running "npx expo-doctor" to check the project configuration and compatibility of dependencies with the Expo SDK, I got this return.

Hey @JoezerSmaniotto, Did you found any solution?

[JoezerSmaniotto]

yes @vargajacint , inside eas.json I added "EX_UPDATES_ANDROID_DELAY_LOAD_APP": "false" build->production->env

{ "cli": { "version": ">= 3.9.1", "requireCommit": true }, "build": { "common": { "node": "18.16.0", "ios": { "resourceClass": "m-medium" } }, "production": { "extends": "common", "distribution": "store", "channel": "production", "env": { "EX_UPDATES_ANDROID_DELAY_LOAD_APP": "false" } }, "development": { "extends": "common", "developmentClient": true, "channel": "development", "distribution": "internal" }, "preview": { "extends": "common", "distribution": "internal", "channel": "preview" } }, "submit": { "production": {} } }

@JoezerSmaniotto Thank you.

I had the same problem on iOS, for me, the solution was removing the Alert.alert calls in the App.tsx file (lol)

I had the same error, the .env environment variables were not configured correctly in eas secrets
