What platform(s) does this occur on?

Android

Did you reproduce this issue in a development build?

Yes

Summary

I build app using Expo and discovered that the Android version of my app is crashing right after launch (iOS version is working). I reproduced this by launching "npx expo start --no-dev --minify" but in normal dev mode app is working.
Console is silent, only warning which I see in Expo Go is "new NativeEventEmitter() was called..." but I can't read it all, it's cut in half and it's not possible to open this warning and see details.

I updated dependencies (below) and tried debug with Sentry but it seems that bug occurs before App.tsx is launched because I didn't log anything.

On fresh created project by "npx create-expo-app@latest" I have the same problem but here even in dev mode Android is throwing the same error.

Can you help me what is going on and why Expo isn't logging any errors?

✔ Check Expo config for common issues
✔ Check package.json for common issues
✔ Check native tooling versions
✔ Check dependencies for packages that should not be installed directly
✔ Check for common project setup issues
✔ Check npm/ yarn versions
✔ Check for issues with metro config
✔ Check Expo config (app.json/ app.config.js) schema
✔ Check for legacy global CLI installed locally
✔ Check that native modules do not use incompatible support packages
✔ Check that packages match versions required by installed Expo SDK
✔ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK

Hi there! It looks like your issue requires a minimal reproducible example, but it is invalid or absent. Please prepare such an example and share it in a new issue.

The best way to get attention to your issue is to provide a clean and easy way for a developer to reproduce the issue on their own machine. Please do not provide your entire project, or a project with more code than is necessary to reproduce the issue.

A side benefit of going through the process of narrowing down the minimal amount of code needed to reproduce the issue is that you may get lucky and discover that the bug is due to a mistake in your application code that you can quickly fix on your own.

Resources

• "How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example"
• "How to narrow down the source of an error"

Common concerns

"I've only been able to reproduce it in private, proprietary code"

You may not have spent enough time narrowing down the root cause of the issue. Try out the techniques discussed in this manual debugging guide to learn how to isolate the problem from the rest of your codebase.

"I didn't have time to create one"

That's understandable, it can take some time to prepare. We ask that you hold off on filing an issue until you are able to fully complete the required fields in the issue template.

"You can reproduce it by yourself by creating a project and following these steps"

This is useful knowledge, but it's still valuable to have the resulting project that is produced from running the steps, where you have verified you can reproduce the issue.
