Problem

I'm trying to preview an update(via EAS Update) on my development build, but I keep getting an error saying:

"There was a problem loading the project. Failed to open app."

The stack trace points to DevLauncherManifestParser.kt, and some coroutine-related files.

Error Message

There was a problem loading the project.
This development build encountered the following error.

Failed to open app.

If you are trying to load the app from a development server, check your network connectivity and make sure you can access the server from your device.

If you are trying to open a published project, install a compatible version of expo-updates and follow all setup and integration steps.

downloadManifest
DevLauncherManifestParser.kt

access$downloadManifest
DevLauncherManifestParser.kt

invokeSuspend

resumeWith
ContinuationImpl.kt

run
DispatchedTask.kt

runSafely
CoroutineScheduler.kt

executeTask
CoroutineScheduler.kt

runWorker
CoroutineScheduler.kt

run
CoroutineScheduler.kt

What I Have Tried

  • Restarting the Expo development server with expo start -c
  • Checking that my device is on the same network as my development machine
  • Ensuring all dependencies are installed (npm install or yarn install)

Environment

  • Expo Updates(expo-updates) version: "~0.25.27"
  • Expo SDK version: "~51.0.39"
  • React Native version: "0.74.5"
  • Development OS: Windows 10 Pro
  • Target Platform: Android
  • Emulator/Device: Physical Device

Expected Behavior

The update should load normally on my development build.

Actual Behavior

The app fails to open with the error mentioned above.

Question

What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?
