Hi. The Expo team is working on this. Should be fixed this week for SDK 38 apps.

Thanks , if I understand there is no other alternative at the moment than waiting?

There are alternatives, but you would have to build it yourself instead of making use of Expo’s build service.

I am not sure how easy/difficult this would be. But I think there are basically two approaches:

  1. Build using turtle-cli
  2. Eject to the Bare workflow

The problem is that I think you’d need to basically make the same changes as in this PR in order for it to work. So the turtle-cli option might not be feasible.

While the changes are pretty minor there are a lot of them and I’m not sure how well they will apply to SDK 38.

I got a similar message, but deployed my update to the app to production anyway.
As it stands, you can still update existing apps with the current Expo supported google API, but any new apps that you want to deploy to the google play store won’t work.

Unless it is critical, I would suggest just waiting a couple of days until they fix the issue. In my opinion, you will spend about just as much time implementing the changes @wodin posted by the looks of things, as it would take to wait for the fix.
