Play build 93 (2.0.0) crashed on launch with a missing ExpoUI_TopAppBarView. #19994 added that view natively in the @expo/ui patch, but the Android runtime fingerprint did not change, so production OTAs from #19999 through #20084 were published to build 93's runtime (035e46c0…).

The Android fingerprint had stopped hashing any Expo native module. expo-widgets declares a Maven-resolved gradle plugin (io.github.expo.peek.glance-fork) with no sourceDir. @expo/fingerprint runs path.relative(root, plugin.sourceDir) on it, throws, and its catch { return [] } drops all ~56 expoAutolinkingAndroid sources. Build 93's stored fingerprint has 0 of them. iOS was unaffected. The bug is still present in @expo/fingerprint 0.21.5 and the current canary.

Changes:

  • Patch @expo/fingerprint@0.21.5 to skip gradle plugins without a sourceDir. Upstream fix: expo/expo#51710; drop the patch once it ships.
  • Add a Verify fingerprints hash Expo native modules step to the production workflow. It runs before both the automatic reconcile and manual mode=update dispatches, and fails the job when a fingerprint hashes zero Expo native modules, so a silently swallowed sourcer error stops the OTA instead of shipping it.

Verified locally (in apps/mobile):

  • Android fingerprint now has 56 expoAutolinkingAndroid sources, including @expo/ui/android.
  • Appending a line to @expo/ui's ExpoUIModule.kt changes the Android hash, and reverting restores it.
  • The iOS hash is identical with and without the patch, so iOS OTA reach is unchanged.
  • Ran the guard step's script under Linux bash with eas stubbed to emit real fingerprints. Healthy Android + iOS pass. Build 93's stored Android fingerprint fails the step with all or android, and passes with ios only. Empty eas output fails closed.

Merging changes the Android fingerprint, so Android needs a new production build before it gets OTAs again (the workflow cuts one). Build 93 has already been rolled back to the last pre-#19994 update (group ce2c419c, republished as 7d8cd43f).

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The PR fixes Android native fingerprinting, but also adds an autonomous gate to the production EAS pipeline that can block OTA releases and automatic build reconciliation. The resulting production deployment behavior and changed runtime fingerprints warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

The Android fingerprint patch skips plugins without a string sourceDir. For push and manual-update runs, the production workflow checks selected-platform fingerprints for Expo autolinking sources and exits if a platform has none.

Changes: Mobile EAS fingerprint validation

For push and manual-update runs, the workflow checks production fingerprints for the selected platforms. If a platform has no Expo autolinking source, it records an error and exits before subsequent OTA publication or reconciliation steps.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 524a4

The production OTA workflow now blocks updates when selected fingerprints lack Expo autolinking sources, and the clean install is configured to apply the fingerprint patch. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains in these changes.

“Publish OTA update (manual)” step before its eas update call, reusing the
existing fingerprint and expo_modules validation behavior so manual dispatches

Comment thread .github/workflows/mobile-eas-production.yml Outdated
expo-widgets declares a Maven-only gradle plugin with no sourceDir.
@expo/fingerprint calls path.relative on it, throws, and its catch drops
every Android Expo module source. Native changes such as the @expo/ui
TopAppBarView patch stopped moving the Android fingerprint, so production
OTAs reached Play build 93 and crashed it.

Patch @expo/fingerprint to skip sourceDir-less gradle plugins, and refuse
to publish a production OTA from a fingerprint that hashes no Expo modules.
