We built a standalone app with Expo and published to the ios app store and the google play store. after release, users with newer devices/android versions were reporting the following error:
Our app does not use firebase as a back end service, but i suspect expo uses it.
I did a little googling, and found this article:
I also dug around in the expo code and found that expo builds target Android SDK v25. It appears that perhaps targeting newer SDKs might resolve our issues.
It sounds like the targetSdkVersion could be related. We have an internal issue open to upgrade the targetSdkVersion since Google Play requires v26 by August, but no ETA; we generally announce things when they are ready.
