Recently, we updated our expo sdk from version 44 to version 48. However, after publishing our app in the Apple store and releasing a few OTA updates, we began to receive an overwhelming amount of errors in Sentry, with the current count exceeding 1000. Unfortunately, we’re unsure how these errors are affecting user experience or if users are receiving the new updates as intended. The error message we’re receiving is simply stating “Failed to download new update.”
Do you have any suggestions on how we can fix this problem?
Our setup:
- eas-cli: eas-cli/3.9.2 darwin-arm64 node-v18.16.0
- Expo: ^48.0.0
- expo-updates: ~0.16.4
