Hi! this was a known issue, you can workaround it by upgrading to SKD 37, or wait for the next version of the iOS client to be released with the fix https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/7585

This Constant problem affects also Android : Expo bare: trying to find null `Constants.manifest.name` error
Modules that use expo-constant also crash (firebase for instance)

where does firebase use expo-constants?

ah that’s only on web, which does not use expo-updates and works differently. it also ill not cause any crash for you because if any of the properties looked up on manifest aren’t defined it will just return undefined
