Expo App showing white screen in test flight

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: sdk-42.0.0
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): IOS
  3. Production build

I recently deployed my expo app to playstore and app store. It works fine in play store but in IOS it shows the splash screen briefly and then a white blank screen and stays like that forever. It is not crashing , so no crash report. It is very difficult for me to understand why this is happening. I ran the same build locally in prod mode using “expo start --no-dev --minify” and it works fine both on IOS simulator and on the IOS device. So I suppect may be the process of build the app and uploading via EAS might be the issue?

Hmm I had the same issue when upgrading to SDK 40. Only thing I did was reinstalling expo-cli and it worked.

Don’t know if that could be the case for you as well - would be quite strange.
Which crash reporter are you using?

I tried to use sentry, followed the documentation in the expo but could not get it to work. It given “Invalid DNS” number error but the DNS number is correct because I copied it from my sentry account. So maybe their documentation is not up to date.

Hmm, have you tried to connect to your device and inspect the error logs while running the AppStore Built version?

how do I do this? I ran the production build using “expo start --no-dev --minify” and it works fine on device no issue.

Connect your iOS device to your Mac and follow these instructions:

See screenshot, I could not use this as well. I hope I can get this resolved as soon as possible.

Finally, issue is resolved for me. I have to use “expo build:ios” and upload the archive file through the transporter to app store. So I guess there is an issue using eas to build and submit.

Interesting … And very strange.
I switched to eas yesterday and im using just the build and submit it via transporter and everything works fine
