Summary

I made a new Android build (runtime version 3.8.5) listening to the channel staging, downloaded the build on my Android device and made a change a few moments later to fix a small bug, which I published using eas update on the staging channel. The app doesn't download the update even after multiple cold launches. Tried for IOS, doesn't work either.

EAS Updates were working perfectly fine before, not sure if I changed something wrong in my project configuration.

Managed or bare?

Didn't find any issues with the project!

Error output

No error, I run the following command and it works fine :

ENV=staging eas update --branch staging

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

This is the Android build page I downloaded the build from :

The update was successful, with my update message :

The fix is working on the dev client, but the issue is still happening on staging app so the update didn't go through.The fix doesn't change the binary layer of the app, it is just a JS fix so it should have worked through the update.

Any update on this?

[jferrettiboke]

@antoinebrtd My comment here might help you.

[antoinebrtd]

@jferrettiboke thanks, I am already using Constants.expoConfig.extra though, so might be another problem. When i open the update with expo dev client it works fine

[code-jenn-or]

@antoinebrtd I too am using Constants.expoConfig.extra and finding that when publishing an updating it is removing all of my secrets in the build. So I go from being able to fetch data to not being able to do anything with the app.

[giacomosardo]

I've try for example to write on terminal

API_URL="http://localhost:3000" eas update (my env and eas update)

and Constants.expoConfig.extra worked for me afert eas update.

[zenpi-me]

We are experiencing the same issue: EAS update works in dev but not in production. We also switched to Constants.expoConfig.extra

Expo SDK 46

Edit:
On dev we already upgraded expo to 47. Is it possible that this is the reason production update does not work anymore? Production is still on 46 thought.

Edit#2:
I discovered that we were updating with node_modules installed from staging. Meaning that SDK 47 was installed, even though I was checked out in master and wanted to update with SDK 46. Did this somehow screw up my expo channel?
