Error on some Android phone

I got this error message affecting some Android users in production. Any idea if this is expo splash screen related or should I be looking elsewhere?

Any hint would be really helpful.

Hey @hackandroll,

The logs seem to indicate that the SplashScreen module could be the culprit. Have you been able to discern any patterns with those users that are affected? Such as same hardware, OS version, etc?

Cheers,
Adam

Getting the same error, doesn’t seem like it depends on hardware/OS:

Found this issue [ANDROID] expo-splash-screen crashes when pressing reload in debug mode. · Issue #7821 · expo/expo · GitHub
Trying to set "fallbackToCacheTimeout": 0 in app.json to see if avoiding reloads helps.

Same problem here.

Hey all,

If you’re still experiencing these errors, can you let me know what SDK version your apps are running?

package.json :
“expo-splash-screen”: “^0.2.3”,

So the error is occurring on both version 0.2.3 and 0.4.0?

Yes sir, and probably in all other versions as well.

This error is ocurring a LOT. I’m really worried about it.

So… any fixes for this?
