[FIXED] Error with sdk 46.0.0 (@snack/sdk.46.0.0) on android device with newly installed Expo Go

Issue

My situation is as follows:

• SDK Version: 46.0.0
• Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android (9 PKQ1.180904.001 (MIUI Global 11.0.3.0(PEIMIXM)))
• Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on: no clue.
• React Native version: no clue, but it should be the latest on the post's date

I’ve just signed up at expo.dev and installed the Expo Go app on my android phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 5). At the time there were no updates for the phone’s OS. Custom firmware wasn’t installed as well. Now I’m trying to launch standard Hello World from the official React Native Introduction (Introduction · React Native).

Sadly, instead of a “Hello World” message, I see this:

The snack “@snack/sdk.46.0.0-peNxQR0YAV” was found, but wasn’t released for platform “android” and SDK version “46.0.0”

And it seems there is not much I can try out to get rid of this error.

There is a similar question: Expo uncaugh error : The snack @snack/sdk.32.0.0 was found But the only answer is advice to update Expo Go, which is obviously not the proper case for the newly installed app.

So here is a logical question: How should I get rid of that error?

Solution

Expo Go for Android does not currently support Expo v46. To fix this go to your snack and at the bottom right change the expo version to v45.

It will ask you to restart Expo Go on your phone. Once you have done that it should work.
