Eas Update not working - export failed

Summary

I have an app that is on the app stores and I often need to update the app with small bug fixes.
I used to do Expo Publish, but now that I'm on SDK 49, I need to use eas update.

When I run that, I get the following error:
✖ Export failed
/*/node_modules/expo/bin/cli exited with non-zero code: 1
Error: update command failed.

Managed or bare?

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

I run eas update

[quinlanj]

hey @NOxDriver can you run
npx expo export --output-dir dist --dump-sourcemap --dump-assetmap --platform=all and report on the output?

[NOxDriver]

Hi,

Thanks for being willing to help!

Here is what I got:

Error: JavaScript engine configuration is inconsistent between app.config.js and iOS native project.
In app.config.js: Hermes is enabled
In iOS native project: Hermes is not enabled

So I actually then went to podfile.properties and put hermes instead of jsc
{
"expo.jsEngine": "hermes",
"EX_DEV_CLIENT_NETWORK_INSPECTOR": "true",
"ios.deploymentTarget": "13.0",
"ios.useFrameworks": "static"
}

But now, when I run EAS update, it doesn't update the app on my phone. Is this not the equivalent of expo publish?

[quinlanj]

Oh interesting... usually when that happens it's due to the app not being configured correctly. Could you check that everything is configured correctly using the guide here: https://docs.expo.dev/eas-update/debug/

[OdebisiidowuSolomon]

What solved my issue was to run the following command

npx expo start -c

then eas update

Do we have any solution for this ?

[serkanbilsel]

i couldnt find solution yet..

@serkanbilsel I'm having the same issue

Hi,

I found a solution.

Steps for fix:

1 - Add environment variable in bashrc ”export NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192”
2 - Before run eas update, run this command in your terminal: export NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192
3 - After step 2, run eas update!

This is worked for me. OBS: I use linux, so, I tested only on linux!
