[expo-branch] null is not an object (evaluating RNBranch.STANDARD_EVENT_ADD_TO_CART) in SDK 35

Error: null is not an object (evaluating RNBranch.STANDARD_EVENT_ADD_TO_CART)

import Branch, { BranchEvent } from "expo-branch";

and

"expo-branch": "~1.0.2",

in Expo SDK 35.

Just after the import. In iOS Simulator.

So this Error is still/again there in SDK 35 - check #5349 too

tried too:
import Branch, { BranchEvent } from "react-native-branch";
"react-native-branch": "~3.1.1",
But same error.

As it says in that issue:

nothing has changed when it comes to Expo client — it didn't have Branch and it won't. So, trying to import and/or call any Branch methods in Expo client will raise an error, since RNBranch, i. e. native module, is null in Expo client.

Branch is only available in standalone builds
