Hi all,
I have seen my JS bundle build version revert to an older version multiple times recently:
10 days ago i made a change that shrunk the size of a button. I updated the build number and published this change. After restarting the app on my phone a few times i was on the version with the smaller button
6 days ago i opened our app to use it and the button was big again. I force quit and reopened and it was still big. After force quitting twice more, the button was small again.
1 day ago i encountered the big button again. I checked the build version in an info dialog in our app that displays the build number and can confirm it was running an older build. Restarting the app a few times got me back to the most recent build again.
I have not found any forum posts or issues where others describe a similar problem. It’s not just that the most up-to-date bundle is not there on first launch i understand that’s part of life with Expo. What’s got me scratching my head is the fact that it would revert to an earlier bundle/build version.
One possible explanation? The build number i saw yesterday when i was looking at the reverted version was the build that went out with our latest app store update when we updated the Expo SDK and so pushed out a new submission through the app store. Is that build then more likely to get cached?
Thanks for any perspective you can offer.
