New update available on Expo, infinite downloading

Tags:

expo

I'm new to developping with Expo. That new that I haven't started developping yet because of an issue.

I followed a tutorial which shows how to use Expo to see how our app is doing. (https://openclassrooms.com/fr/courses/4902061-developpez-une-application-mobile-react-native/4915601-demarrez-votre-application-sur-smartphone-tablette)

Everything works fine until I try to actually see how my app is doing.

I scan the QR code given by Expo (on the Expo's application), and it displays the splash screen and the following message : "New update available, downloading..." (it never changes, even after an hour)

I have no idea about what is going on. If someone already met this issue and knows how to fix it I would be glad to know.

I use Expo SDK 39.0.0

How do I update the latest version of Expo?

Update to the latest version of Expo CLI: npm i -g expo-cli. [email protected] or greater is required. Update to the latest version of EAS CLI if you use it: npm i -g eas-cli. Run expo upgrade in your project directory.

Why is Expo Go not working?

In my case, the issue was fixed by doing the following on my Android (Galaxy Note 5): Go to Settings > Apps > Application Manager > Expo. Scroll down to Draw over other apps and toggle it off and then on again. Close out of everything, re-open expo, and try connecting.

What is tunnel in Expo?

Note: Expo CLI also spawns a tunnel process, which allows devices outside of your LAN to access the above servers without you needing to change your firewall settings.

How do I get the app version of Expo?

To start with you'll need to install expo-constants which, as the docs state, provides system information that remains constant throughout the lifetime of your app's install. Congrats! You can now access the app version from anywhere within your app.

In my case,

  1. Close the react-native debugger.
  2. Run the app again in the browser debugger. reload app from browser debugger (App will start properly)
  3. Connect react-native degugger

Okay I found what was the problem : I tried to used the wrong connection type. As I was on a local network I thought I should use LAN connection but when I clicked on "tunnel" connection and reloaded the app it worked.
