Add expo-updates crash when build release with Re.Pack v5

[npcv1999]

Describe the bug

Hi, I am using Re.Pack 5 and have integrated expo modules. When building the release, libraries like expo-constants work fine. However, for libraries like expo-updates, as far as I know, additional configuration with expo-cli is required to build successfully. But when I manage to build it, the app crashes on the Re.Pack part.

In my app/build.gradle must have this to make expo-updates working

But when build relase, that log error :

• ReferenceError: Property 'webpack_require' doesn't exist

How i can do for this issue ?
Thank you

Hi, the app crashes because it's built with metro and not Re.Pack - I did investigate expo-updates briefly (with EAS, the most dev friendly way) and it seems like its hard-wired to use metro so there is most likely no way to integrate this right now

Oh, thanks for your answer! In the future, your team still plans to support expo-updates, right? @jbroma

It's more about expo-updates supporting anything other than expo-cli/metro rather than Re.Pack supporting expo-updates - not much we can do from our side tbh
