Detailed check results:

The package  "@types/react-native" should not be installed directly in your project, as types are included with the "react-native" package.

This project contains native project folders but also has native configuration properties in app.json, indicating it is configured to use Prebuild. When the android/ios folders are present, EAS Build will not sync the following properties: updates.

Advice: Add '/android' and '/ios' to your .gitignore file if you intend to use CNG / Prebuild. Learn more.

My code to check updates is:

  const checkForUpdates = async () => {
    if (__DEV__) {
      // Skip the update check in development
      return;
    }

    try {
      const update = await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync();

      alert('🚀 ~ checkForUpdates ~ update:', update);
      if (update.isAvailable) {
        await Updates.fetchUpdateAsync();

        Alert.alert(
          'Update Available',
          'An update has been downloaded and will be applied on restart.',
          [
            {
              text: 'Restart Now',
              onPress: async () => await Updates.reloadAsync(),
            },
          ],
        );
      }
      // To do make update
    } catch (e) {
