Error: Fatal Exception: NSInvalidArgumentException Application tried to present modally a view controller <RCTModalHostViewController: 0x10811fc50> that is already being presented by <UIViewController: 0x1055189b0>

When: When I tried to replace navigation stack using: navigation.dispatch(StackActions.replace(“CreateAccount”));

Platform: iOS only on production (not on local)

@wodin Can you please take look at it?

wodin · April 23, 2023, 2:23pm

Hi @rshanidhi

When you say “not on local”, do you mean it works in Expo Go? Or a development build? Or what?

What do you get if you run npx expo-env-info inside the project?

What do you get if you run npx expo-doctor? And npx expo install --check?

rshanidhi · April 24, 2023, 2:33am

By “not on local” I mean it works on both Expo Go and development build (simulator) but it throws the above fatal error on testflight build (on real device).
Not just replace, I have tried for reset, popToTop but all throws the same error.

My Purpose: To clear the navigation stacks to prevent user going back to screen not intended for back.
For example: after login/register

Here’s my expo-env-info:

expo-env-info 1.0.5 environment info:
    System:
      OS: macOS 13.3.1
      Shell: 5.9 - /bin/zsh
    Binaries:

      Yarn: 1.22.19 - /usr/local/bin/yarn

      react: 18.1.0 => 18.1.0

    npmGlobalPackages:
      eas-cli: 3.10.0
      expo-cli: 6.3.2
    Expo Workflow: managed

And there was a package inconsistencies for @expo/webpack-config.
I fixed it and built new test-flight build but the error still persists.

wodin · April 24, 2023, 9:14am

OK. Can you post your dependencies and devDependencies from package.json? And also the plugins section from app.json if you use config plugins. (But of course you should obscure any sensitive information in the plugins props.)

I added your dependencies and plugins to a test app.

I had to remove the two following plugins because you didn’t post them, but in theory they should not affect the iOS build since they look like they are Android-specific:

I then tried to build it. It failed because I did not have a GoogleService-Info.plist file. So I generated one and added it. After that it built without a problem.

I know expo-env-info says “Expo Workflow: managed”, but can you confirm that there is no ios directory in the root of your project?

rshanidhi · April 24, 2023, 5:21pm

@wodin
Thank you very much for your effort.

Exactly it is expo managed project, so no ios or android dir.

wodin · April 24, 2023, 9:59pm

OK, then maybe try the following:

Remove your node_modules and package-lock.json or yarn.lock.
Reinstall your dependencies with npm install or yarn (depending on which one you normally use).
Run npx expo install --check

See if that helps.
