Android crashes/rollback every time an update is applied

[zgordon02]

Thanks so much for filing an issue or feature request! Please fill out the following (wherever relevant):

Steps to Reproduce

1. I have an bare expo project, fully installed codepush and it is working fine in iOS
2. I am using this in my index.js:

registerRootComponent(
  codePush({
    checkFrequency: codePush.CheckFrequency.ON_APP_START,
    installMode: codePush.InstallMode.IMMEDIATE,
  })(App)
);

3. Every update attempt in Android fails, iOS has no issues.

Expected Behavior

What you expected to happen?
I expect the update to apply properly

Actual Behavior

What actually happens?
I get the following exception, the app crashes, and the update is rolled back

Did you find a solution for this ? I'm having the exact same issue, and can't find a way to resolve it.

Thanks.

[jhonliima]

me too exact same issue only in android, Ios works fine.

[zgordon02]

I ended up abandoning code push and I implemented Expo EAS Updates. If you have expo in your app it appears there is a conflict with codepush. I wish you the best of luck!

I'm closing this issue because iit's an exception from expo's side

#2618 I founded the solution of the crash for my application. If you want to have a check on it
