Recently ejected Bare Workflow app hangs at SplashScreen on Android

Expo Development Tools
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently ejected a managed workflow project to bare and when running the app locally with yarn android and yarn start, the app hangs at the splash screen indefinitely. I don’t see any console.logs being called in App.js either, so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve also followed the docs for setting up react-native-unimodules and expo-splash-screen. Keep in mind I haven’t done any set up on the iOS side for this project, just for Android. I’m not sure if that has any influence on this bug :smile:

Here’s a minimum reproducible example (https://github.com/ekailly/managed-to-bare-splashscreen) where I created a blank managed workflow template with SDK 38 and ejected it to bare workflow by running expo eject. I added a custom splash screen and did some config for it in app.json.

I fixed it, I just decided to use Windows as my dev environment and ensured it followed React Native’s docs and I was good to go :sweat_smile:
