FAQPage Schema

How do I configure Expo runtimeVersion fingerprint for OTA updates?▼

Expo OTA updates fail to reach devices when the runtimeVersion fingerprint mismatch occurs. Managing the fingerprint policy ensures updates only apply to compatible native code builds, preventing broken app states.

What is runtimeVersion fingerprint management in Expo apps?▼

Use the fingerprint policy for runtimeVersion to configure your Expo project. This policy automatically generates fingerprints based on native code and configuration changes to ensure OTA safety.

Can I use fingerprint policy for runtimeVersion with automated version bumping in Expo?▼

Yes, the fingerprint policy supports automated version and build-number bumping in Expo apps. It manages the interaction between marketing version bumps and OTA fingerprints to maintain update safety.

Why does my Expo OTA update not reach devices after a version bump?▼

Expo OTA updates require a fingerprint policy that matches the native code state. This Skill configures runtimeVersion management to ensure updates only apply when the fingerprint is compatible.
