'New update available on Expo, infinite downloading

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

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.

Solution 2:[2]

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

tried cache clearing in expo app,reinstalling, changing connection type and everything nothing works but once restart the machine problem solved ( ubuntu 20.04 )

Solution 4:[4]

On my machine this seems to have been caused by a browser tab having Javascript debugger on. I closed the tab, and then the app started ok again.

Solution 5:[5]

I solved this problem uninstall and install again the Expo App from Play Store

For me it was an infinite loop that is running. Search for it by commenting looping parts from your code.

Solution 7:[7]

if you're use deep link in your app. i was ignoring this warning

Warning: Linking requires a build-time setting scheme in the project’s Expo config (app.config.js or app.json) for production apps.

but after adding scheme in both files app works fine.

In my case, I am getting the error as a result of an issue with EAS Update: https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/17461
