Hi! this was a known issue, you can workaround it by upgrading to SKD 37, or wait for the next version of the iOS client to be released with the fix :slight_smile: Constants.installationId undefined in ios expo client 2.15.x · Issue #7585 · expo/expo · GitHub

This Constant problem affects also Android : Expo bare: trying to find null `Constants.manifest.name` error - #3 by lc3t35
Modules that use expo-constant also crash (firebase for instance)

where does firebase use expo-constants?

expo/FirebaseOptions.ts at master · expo/expo · GitHub.

ah that’s only on web, which does not use expo-updates and works differently. it also ill not cause any crash for you because if any of the properties looked up on manifest aren’t defined it will just return undefined
