Expo Development Tools

Hi,
Is it possible to install a specific version of Expo using create-expo-app ?

Thanks in advance

Hey @twelve, it is. For example, for SDK 47, you can pass the template blank@47 in the following command:

npx create-expo-app --template blank@47

Set up a managed project and then run npx expo prebuild

I ran the following command npx expo prebuild -p ios , and right after, the ‘ios’ folder was generated. However, when I checked the current workflow using npx expo-env-info , it still shows ‘managed.’ How can I switch to the bare workflow?

That’s strange. Here’s what I get:

/tmp$ npx create-expo-app testapp -t blank@sdk-47

By the way, why do you want to use the Bare workflow? These days you can usually use the Managed workflow, even if in the past you would have needed the Bare workflow.

I ran into this issue and I need to create a reproducible example for my existing project that uses Expo 47 and the bare workflow
