React Native SDK crashes on Expo SDK 55 during initialization #358

Summary

I'm trying to use @openpanel/react-native in an Expo React Native app, but the SDK crashes during initialization before the app renders.

Environment

  • @openpanel/react-native: 1.4.0
  • expo: 55.0.19
  • expo-constants: 55.0.15
  • expo-application: 55.0.14
  • react-native: 0.83.6
  • expo-router: 55.0.13
  • Package manager: pnpm@10.33.2
  • Setup: Expo app inside a pnpm monorepo

Setup

The required packages are installed in the mobile app:

@openpanel/react-native@1.4.0
expo-application@55.0.14
expo-constants@55.0.15

Initialization code:

import { OpenPanel } from "@openpanel/react-native";

export const op = new OpenPanel({
  clientId: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_OPENPANEL_MOBILE_CLIENT_ID,
  apiUrl: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_OPENPANEL_MOBILE_API_URL,
});

Error

On startup, the app crashes with:

ERROR  [TypeError: k.default.getWebViewUserAgentAsync is not a function (it is undefined)]

After that, Expo Router reports route warnings such as:

WARN  Route "./_layout.tsx" is missing the required default export.
WARN  Route "./index.tsx" is missing the required default export.

Those route warnings seem to be cascading from the SDK initialization error.

Additional Context

I checked expo-constants directly in the same app, and the helper appears to exist:

import Constants from "expo-constants";

console.log(typeof Constants.getWebViewUserAgentAsync);
// "function"

So the package is installed and the function is available when imported directly from app code.

The install also reports peer warnings:

@openpanel/react-native 1.4.0 unmet peer expo-application "5 - 7"
@openpanel/react-native 1.4.0 unmet peer expo-constants "14 - 18"

Expo SDK 55 uses expo-application@55.x and expo-constants@55.x.

Question

Is Expo SDK 55 currently supported by @openpanel/react-native?

If yes, is there anything specific needed for Expo SDK 55 / pnpm monorepo setups to avoid this initialization crash?
