Can't use dev mode after updating v27

Expo SDK
1

I’m developing with detached project.
After i updating, I can’t use dev mode. My app doesn’t connect to XDE, it uses only published bundle & datas.
(publishing is working anyway)

Can anyone help me?

Could you please share more information about the platform, OS, computer, how you upgraded, from what version did you upgrade?

platform : iOS (i’ve not tested on android)
OS : macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
Expo XDE : 2.24.4 (2.24.4.53441)
exp --version : 53.1.0

I detached my project at expo v26 and I upgraded to v27 yesterday.
then followed

  1. Expo SDK v27.0.0 is now available | by Ben Roth | Exposition
  2. https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/expokit/expokit#upgrading-expokit
  3. https://gist.github.com/janicduplessis/30ec95451733d34ffcf7d5cb27ba0e28

[situation]

  1. When start my app, it’s working without OTA. It looks totally detached with whole packed bundle.
  2. Problem is, It doesn’t connect to XDE or exp anymore. I wanna hot load (or minimized reload) for development. After upgrade, I have to publish everytime when modified my source code. (the hot loader was working on detached v26 project)
  3. and flag __ DEV __ is not working. Even I run my app with debug configuration.

(all case are tested on ios simulator)

  1. I tried changed field “updates.enabled”, “updates.checkAutomatically” in app.json. (It’s not working)

I wanna use OTA in dev mode and off OTA in publish mode. Is it possible?
Please help me. Save my life…
Thanks!

Hi there!

If Xcode is building a Debug scheme, it will fetch the development url configured inside EXBuildConstants.plist. This url is configured automatically by exp every time you build from Xcode.

If Xcode is building a Release scheme, it will fetch the published/production url configured inside EXShell.plist.

I’m using Debug scheme. (Double checked)

The “developmentUrl” is weird in my EXBuildConstants.plist?
Let me share my files.

Thanks

expda9b4923076a464f986c78cba8dfd005://192.168.219.105:19000 is a normal development url for ExpoKit. This should be the url that your app tries to open if you build a Debug scheme. This should also be the same url you see being served from XDE or exp.

I found a solution.
The weird thing is… the development url isn’t updated even I clicked “Restart” button in Exp XDE. It’s working after I changed it manually.

Thanks!
