KeepAwake: ReactNativeJS: TypeError: p.default.activate is not a function. (In 'p.default.activate(t)', 'p.default.activate' is undefined)

Hello,

Since I migrated expo and expokit from sdk 31 to 34, expo-keep-awake does not work anymore on android.
I’m suspecting this to be due to the new unimodule system. I managed to fix it in debug build when I realized I was not returning the packages from auto-generated BasePackageList.java.

I thought i was done with that issue, since it is now working fine on android debug build, but then realized it still crashes in release build. I tried clearing all the caches, from expo js to android studio clean build, invalidate cache and restart… but still no luck in release.

As soon as i call useKeepAwake(), the app restarts and i get the following error in the logcat:

KeepAwake: ReactNativeJS: TypeError: p.default.activate is not a function. (In 'p.default.activate(t)', 'p.default.activate' is undefined)

Alright I found the answer!

I had not updated the proguard-rules.pro.
I used the one from a clean expokit build with sdk-34, appended my custom changes, and it was all good.

If ever someone needs a clean proguard-rules.pro for sdk-34, here it is:

# Add project specific ProGuard rules here.
# By default, the flags in this file are appended to flags specified
# in /Users/ide/Library/Android/sdk/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt
# You can edit the include path and order by changing the proguardFiles
# directive in build.gradle.
#
# For more details, see
#   http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/proguard.html

# Add any project specific keep options here:

# If your project uses WebView with JS, uncomment the following
# and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
# class:
#-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
#   public *;
#}


# THIS IS VERY VERY BAD. REMOVE AS SOON AS VERSIONING IS FIXED
