In the past week i’ve updated my app and released an update. The update build and runs perfectly both on my device and the emulator when running:
npm run android
After creating the Production build by doing:
eas build --platform android
I’ve submitted the build artefact with the update into Google Play Store, but after downloading the app from the store it’s crushes immediately on startup.
After looking at the logs, seems that this is the error that causes the issue:
The embedded manifest is invalid or could not be read. Make sure you have configured expo-updates correctly in android/app/build.gradle. null
I must say that before releasing this update i was messing around with the versions of the application, looks like i bumped the version from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3
