This error happens on version 2.2.33. Downgrade to version 2.2.30 for a quick fix.

[Zakisb]

Thank you ! is the problem occuring in all version? could u please tell me which version works i have to push my app to production asap.

[anagstef]

Hello @Zakisb! You can try downgrading to 2.2.30, it should be working. Are you getting the same error? If yes, then try to delete your package-lock.json and delete your node_modules directory and try again!

[Zakisb]

Worked ! thank youuu !!!!

"@clerk/backend": "1.15.5",
"@clerk/clerk-expo": "2.2.30",
"@clerk/clerk-react": "5.14.3",
"@clerk/types": "4.29.0",

Currently able to reproduce this with these versions, on Expo 52 as well as Expo 51
Downgrading to 2.2.30 doesn't resolve the issue.

going back to the version before 2.2.30:

"@clerk/backend": "1.15.1",
"@clerk/clerk-expo": "2.2.29",
"@clerk/clerk-react": "5.13.1",
"@clerk/types": "4.28.0",

Is what I need to do to get it working.

Hello everyone, the release we pushed out yesterday fixed the issue so please update your SDKs to @latest. I'm happy to say that we have identified why this build passed our CICD checks. Now that the fix is out, we're going to patch this as well.

Many thanks to everyone for reporting and jumping in to help :) I will close this issue now, but feel free to reopen or reach out to me directly if you still need help.
