Build crashes in Expo

Build crashes while installing pods in Expo.

[!] Unable to find a specification for UMCore depended upon by EXLocalization
You have either:

• out-of-date source repos which you can update with pod repo update or with pod install --repo-update.
• mistyped the name or version.
• not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.
  [stderr] [!] <PBXResourcesBuildPhase UUID=13B07F8E1A680F5B00A75B9A> attempted to initialize an object with an unknown UUID. 6DEAD5BE8A1E4142A15F1FB5 for attribute: files. This can be the result of a merge and the unknown UUID is being discarded.
  pod exited with non-zero code: 1

Tried all kinds stuff but just couldn't figure it out. Only thing I found is if I remove/uninstall the package, build succeeds.

We get this error as well, and a similar error when building for Android

The problem is "expo-constants" and "expo-localization" is outdated and needs upgrade, so I brought files locally it worked but didn't work well with android. So I just made my own simple function that checks(App/Play Store website) and redirects to App/Play store if there is new update (only works Expo though) but I was lazy to document and built separate npm package. If you really need it I can document sth fast and publish to npm.

I created a fork, which does not depend on expo-localization.

Thanks but what about Android, does it work? Play Store has changed and version number hidden in popup menu.

Android is working currently. The play store source contains some JSON, which includes the version number, which the script extracts. The popup menu does not load extra data via ajax, all the data is already contained in JSON embedded within the original page.

Got it thanks, yep forgot JSON includes version number.

In my case expo-localization wasn't installed but I got no warnings or errors about peer dependencies. Isn't that package missing in dependencies list?

[bayramn]

Does it work now? Even after installing expo-localization, I couldn’t make it work in Expo. Just switched to @stri8ed package above and works for ios for now.

The build worked, I'll be sure in a few days if it is working in the stores, there are some other things to do before I can release.

The build is ok but I'm not being prompted to update the app. I did the following:

• created a new build with this lib, using the following approach:

VersionCheck.needUpdate().then(async res => {
 if (res.isNeeded) {
   await Linking.openURL(res.storeUrl)
 }
})

• Published it to the store and updated manually on my phone
• Created another build and published it
• Closed and reopened the app in my phone, I wasn't prompted to update
